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

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 bursts down his left wing and crosses towards the penalty spot… Bastoni heads away the danger, Italy can breathe.
