After the final of 2012 and the disappointments of the last years, Italy wanted to revancha in the football and has achieved it. The ones of Roberto Mancini, unrecognizable in the beginning of the crash, have won to the 'three lions' of way agónica and suffering at all times.

For fortune of the 'azzurri', Leonardo Bonucci arrived to time to command the spherical at the end of the network.

Italy wanted to carry the result in the statutory time. In the 73', Berardi received a long balloon, only in front of Pickford, but his finish at first went high. Italy had reacted, of extraordinary way, and was looking for the second so much to clear the meeting. It was not sufficient, however, and the final went to the extention, turning into the sixth that has gone to extra time, after the ones of 1960, 1976, 1996, 2000 and 2016.

Extention... And again penal

The 'three lions' had achieved a big combination and the one of the Manchester City put in the area in good position but 'il capitano' arrived just to command it to the corner.

Italy also had his opportunity in the 103, after a big centre of Emerson to the that did not arrive Bernardeschi to the first stick.
