Cristiana Girelli not enough, Italy's qualification postponed
We will have to wait until the’last day of Group B of the Women’s European Championships to know whether or not Andrea Soncin’s Italy will qualify for the quarterfinals of the continental review.
The Azzurre in fact drew 1-1 with Portugal, getting caught a minute from the end when the victory and therefore also the passage of the round seemed done.
Unlocking the result was captain Cristiana Girelli, after Morais had told her no in the first half. Also of note was a crossbar hit at 0-0 by Salvai. After a goal by Diana Silva nullified by Var, the equalizer was signed by Gomes, with the complicity of goalkeeper Giuliani.
The standings now see Italy on 4 points, -2 from Spain, which will be the very last opponent in a direct clash in which a draw or even a defeat will suffice as long as a better goal difference than Portugal’s is maintained.
