The round of 16 kicked off this Saturday at 6:00 p.m. Italy and Switzerland faced each other in a match that looked uncertain. Ruben Vargas stood out by scoring one of the best goals of the competition.
Ruben Vargas literally stunned Italy. After a controlled first half, Switzerland managed to open the score thanks to a very nice sequence of moves by Remo Freuler. For its part, the Squadra Azzurra did not manage to get into this decisive match.
Despite an excellent Gigio Donnarumma, they were unable to keep up with the pace set by the Nati. Italy sank in this first act by showing themselves to be inoffensive with no attempts to get their teeth into.
And, if Luciano Spalletti was counting on the break to remotivate his troops, it was a failure. Only a few seconds after the kick-off of the second half, Ruben Vargas came to dampen the Italian hopes.
At the edge of the area, the Augsburg striker tried his luck with his right foot. His curling shot lodged in the top corner of Giangluigi Donnarumma who could do nothing. The Swiss scored one of the most beautiful goals of this Euro 2024. The Nazionale finds itself with its back to the wall, on the verge of elimination.
