Italien nutzt drückende Überlegenheit gegen Island nicht

Italy clearly dominated Iceland for 90 minutes. Even so, the southern Europeans did not win 1:ane (0:1). This puts Italy at the bottom of Group D with just one point on the concluding 24-hour interval of grouping play. And now they badly need a win in their concluding game against Belgium. Iceland (two points) should finally declare itself against France.

Italian republic jitney Milena Bertolini was optimistic afterward the game: "We knew we had to get through in the final game, so this is nothing new. Such an early goal could take destroyed the confidence of the players, simply they reacted correctly." Iceland midfielder Raquel Hönnudóttir admitted: "Italia should have scored one more goal given their chances. They attacked for about of the game, but in the end Iceland could steal the win."

While Iceland could put upward with a 1-1 draw confronting Belgium in the first leg, the disappointment of the Italian military camp after a i-one draw with France was significant. Italia bus Milena Bertolini reacted accordingly and changed the composition in v positions. Lucia Di Guglielmo, Flaminia Simonetti, Martina Piemonte, Martina Rosucci and Valentina Giacinti started instead of Elisa Bartoli, Aurora Galli, Manuela Giugliano, Christiana Girelli and Barbara Bonanci.

Throw-in, goal – Iceland leads early on

However, none of this could finish the Italians from making another false commencement. In less than three minutes, they could not defend the throw-in of the Icelandic. The brawl flew through the 16 Italian team'due south goal until Karolina Vilhjalmsdottir came from behind and hitting the top right corner from 14 meters – ane:0 in favor of Iceland.

The Italians looked dislocated simply now decided to take control of the game. Patently, this suited Iceland – at least the northern Europeans accept moved far abroad. The about dangerous Italian in the adjacent few minutes was Arianna Caruso, who savage through in the 18th minute subsequently a close-range corner with an Icelandic defensive foot.

3 minutes after, Caruso hit from a distance, but her 18-meter shot was a prophylactic casualty for Republic of iceland goalkeeper Sandra Sigurdadottir.

Italy – lots of possession, piddling return

In general, Italy, despite their superiority (85 per cent of possession later on xxx minutes!), lacked the consistency to capitalize on their superiority. We almost caught up 0:2 in one of the northerners' rare counterattacks. Just Sveindis Jonsdottir, who won the ball deep in the opponent'due south half of the field, was not enough in the punishment area from sixteen meters.

Of form, the referee Lina Lehtovaara from Finland started the second one-half, and Italian republic had no other choice: they had to come up with more. Take even more risks. But at start it didn't work. Farther, Isis had everything under control, the starting time ten minutes passed without incident.

Bergamaschi breaks the spell

Still, later a good 60 minutes, the time has come: in the left half of the punishment surface area, substitute Barbara Bonansi finally refueled to the dorsum line. The start endeavour to cross was unsuccessful, but on the 2nd attempt she plant Valentina Bergamaschi, who scored the ball into the goal from viii meters to the left.

The superiority of the Italians was now only overwhelming. The Southern Europeans were on the powerplay and time and fourth dimension once again the spectators in Manchester City's small grooming academy screamed they wanted to score.

Bonanci by mail

In the 72nd minute, Bonansi hit the left post with his best opportunity from thirteen yards. Notwithstanding, with all their diligence, the Italians would have stumbled upon a decisive counterattack in the final phase. Only although they did not concede a unmarried goal, the final draw was disappointing.
