Achievement by Italy Under 17. The team coached by coach Massimiliano Favo this evening secured the pass for the semi-finals of the European category: beating England on penalties after the match had ended at the end of 90 minutes on the result of 1-1.
At the AEK Arena in Larnaca, Cyprus, the English took the lead after 16 minutes with Ethan Nwaneri, a promising young player from Arsenal. The equalizer achieved by Italy just before the half-hour was scored by Mattia Liberali and it was a true masterpiece: before depositing the ball at the bottom of the bag, the AC Milan player highlighted himself with a long series of dribbles that sent the English defense into panic. Harrison’s mistake was decisive in the penalty shootout: Francesco Camarda scored the fifth and decisive penalty for the Azzurri.
BUT WHAT A BEAUTIFUL GOAL FROM MATTIA LIBERALI 🇮🇹 (2007)!!!!!!!!!#Under17 #Azzurrini #VivoAzzurro #U17 #U17Euro pic.twitter.com/Wij5ODx8Au
