Spain beats Italy to meet Croatia in Nations League final

Spain and Italy reenacted the 2020/21 Nations League semi-final. This time, despite a new head coach and not being in good form, Spain still repeated their victory with the same score as the match 2 years ago.

Coach Luis de la Fuente's players, as usual, dominated possession of the ball compared to their opponents. Spain's chances were far superior to Italy's. In the first half, Alvaro Morata and his teammates had 9 shots, 4 of which were on target. Meanwhile, Italy only had one shot that forced goalkeeper Unai Simon to touch the ball.

Donnarumma conceded twice.

Spain scored early after just three minutes. Italy captain Leonardo Bonucci lost possession just outside the box. Yeremy Pino took the opportunity to shoot past Gianluigi Donnarumma. However, Italy equalized less than 10 minutes later when Ciro Immobile converted a penalty.

Spain continued to dominate in the second half. Italy defended hard but still allowed their opponents to create dangerous opportunities. On the other hand, Italy also had 2 counter-attacks that almost scored.

Joselu takes Spain to Nations League final.

In the 84th minute, coach De la Fuente sent Joselu on to replace Morata and this change created a turning point in the match. In less than 5 minutes of playing, this striker scored the winning goal 2-1 for Spain, bringing this team to the Nations League final against Croatia.
