📸Italy into U21 Euros quarter-finals, Casadei on target, Baldanzi injured🚑 | OneFootball

Italy Under 21 did not shine against Slovakia, but won 1-0 in a not-so-simple match and, with a round in advance, qualified for the quarterfinals of the European Championship. Now, in the last match against Spain, the two teams will play for first place.

The one who unlocked the game was the usual Cesare Casadei, already top scorer in the last U20 World Cup and once again devastating with Carmine Nunziata's selection.

Well done to midfielder Wilfried Gnonto, who supported him, found the play and the diagonal that after just 7' were worth the 1-0.

This is his 4th goal in the U21 team and his 18th goal with the youth national teams.

At the beginning of the second half, the Azzurrini suffered a lot, giving up the field to the home team, who played the game and put a very inaccurate defensive line in great apprehension.

In the 64th minute, Italy suffered a very hard blow. After a great personal action, Tommaso Baldanzi suffered a hard blow to the thigh and was forced to change.

The nature of his injury is not clear, as the Roma midfielder touched his knee, came out limping visibly, and had an ice pack applied to the joint once on the bench.
