Italy beats outsiders – mistakes decides game

Defense error in EM game

Bayern star decides the game: Italy beats outsiders

Italy wants to progress in the heavy Spain group. But the “Azzurre” had to pass Belgium.

Italy has a success in the women’s football European Championships. The “Azzurre” in Group B defeated the outsider from Belgium 1-0. Arianna Caruso scored the game’s goal, benefited from an error in the Belgian order in the 44th minute. At a cross from Lucia di Guglielmo, Caruso was completely free to the penalty area and finished calmly into the Toreck.

This makes Italy an important victory in Group B. Behind the world champion and EM favorite Spain, Andrea Soncin’s team with Belgium and Portugal should duel for the second ticket for the coach. In the second game (on Monday from 9 p.m.) it goes against Portugal.

At the European Championship four years ago in England, Italy was also hit in Belgium in the group phase, but lost 0-1 at the time and left. In Sion, too, the favorites were particularly difficult in the largely uneventful first half. Caruso broke through the slight superiority of Belgium with a placed shot in the upper corner.
