Italy beat Spain to reach Euro 2020 final

Alvaro Morata missed the penalty and Jorghino scored as Italy beat Spain 4-2 on penalties to reach final. Follow Highlights of Euro 2020, Italy vs Spain semifinal.

Federico Chiesa scored the best goal of the game, while the Italian defence does what Italian defences do. Spain spent the evening passing and probing, but could only find a way through once.

Small margins, but Italy have now won 16 straight games in this Euro 2020 tournament, and are just one more win from glory. It’ll either be Italy-England or Italy-Denmark in the final of Euro 2020 on Sunday. Make sure you join Paul Doyle tomorrow night to find out how it all pans out.

Jonathan Liew’s match report has landed; you know what to do. Congratulations to Italy, commiserations to Spain, and thanks for reading this MBM! Nighty night.

The Italians celebrated at the end with a large contingent of their UK-based supporters, and a team that has been rejuvenated under Roberto Mancini continues to dream of winning a first European Championship title since 1968.

Now unbeaten in 33 games, they go through to Sunday's final to face either England or Denmark, who meet in Wednesday's second last-four tie.

It is nine years since Spain mauled Italy 4-0 in the Euro 2012 final in Kiev to win a third consecutive major tournament, and this was the fourth consecutive European Championship in which these powerhouses had met.
