Round of 16 – Euro 2024
June 29, 2024, Olympic Stadium, Berlin (Germany)
It’s break time in Berlin! Largely dominant, Switzerland logically leads against Italy (1-0), thanks to a goal from Remo Freuler. Nothing has been done yet in this first round of 16 of the Euro.
45’+3
On a Swiss corner, Ndoye is sanctioned for a foul on Donnarumma. The Italians have weathered the storm and will return to the locker room with a one-goal deficit.

Three minutes of added time in this first act.
Relive Switzerland’s opening goal, scored by Remo Freuler, at the end of a marvel of team action.

40′
Chiesa’s free kick is repelled by the Swiss defense.
39′
Italy is now forced to react, otherwise it will give up its title acquired in 2021 in the round of 16. It will perhaps be on this free kick, which Chiesa is about to take…

24′
Donnarumma’s parade! The Italian goalkeeper wins his duel with Embolo, launched alone in the depth.

6′
For the first time in the match, Italy put its foot on the ball. El Shaarawy is found at the entrance to the Swiss area… It doesn’t work.
4′
Vargas rushes down his left lane and crosses towards the penalty spot… Bastoni wards off the danger with his head, Italy can breathe.
