Italy-Cuba 2-2 at the U20 World Championship: goal by Natali and Idrissau

At the second appointment of his U20 World Championship, Italy throws away and two goals of Cuba is reassembled. The 2-2 of Valparaiso is the result of a game split halfway by the expulsion of Iddrissau before the interval, which arrived with the blue who seemed firmly in command of the operations on 2-0. But it is there that the wind changes, between the numerical inferiority and guilty naivety that lead to two penalties for the Cubans both assigned after revision to the Football Video Support. The technological help on call – that in Italy we are learning about in the Serie C championship – led in both cases the Ecuadorian Aragon referee to correct the decision taken on the field, where he had not indicated the spot. And Camejo threw Nunziante twice, postponing the verdict for qualifying – however within the reach of the boys of Nunziata – in the third game, the one against Argentina of the night between Saturday and Sunday.

Italy-Cuba 2-2 at the Under 20 World Cup

–

Italy ahead after a quarter of an hour, with Andrea Natali on the development of corner kick. Like Dad Cesare, the defensive central of Az Alkmaar (lent by Bayer Leverkusen) knows how to hurt even in the opposing areas. The doubling reaches half an hour: Cama calibrates the cross well from the left, Iddrissau fiercely attacks the first post and finds coordination to kick on the goal on the fly. Really nice. It all seems easy, also because Nunziata has managed the energies well (four changes compared to the debut) and the Caribbean are combative but without quality peaks: the eyes are focused mainly on the center forward Alessio Raballo, Italian dad and Cuban mom, which Turin has lent to the Cremonese in the spring (and who has already began with the major national team of Cuba). Shortly before the interval, however, it is precisely Iddrissau – the Inter striker does not spare himself without the ball – to commit a yellow foul in defensive folding. He had already warned, so he leaves Italy in ten. The prerequisite for the mockery. The perspective of the entire second half with the man in more motivates the Cubans, who try to put it in the Gazzarra. Out of two contacts in the blue area, not sanctioned by the Aragon incerto, the Pedro Pereira bench asks for the revision. And he gets the penalty in both cases: at 68 ‘for a blank of Christmas on Campos – but he seemed more the opponent to end up on him – then at 87’ when Corradi is naive to push Remify, also considering the previous fresh. In both cases Camejo transforms from eleven meters and Cuba takes the first historic point in its history in an U20 World Cup. Nothing compromise for Italy, because the qualifying shirts are wide and the four best thirds also pass. But it is legitimate to eat your hands and dutiful to reflect: you cannot throw yourself away like this.
