After the draw with Wales, Switzerland did not want to lose to the top team Italy. Despite playing away, Shaqiri and his teammates still took the initiative to attack from the start in search of surprises.
However, in a day of solid performance, the home team repeated the result like in the opening match. Despite having 13 shots throughout the 90 minutes, Azzurri only had 3 of them on target. However, their performance in those matches was 100%.
Locatelli scored twice in turn, then Immobile closed the match with a score of 3-0. Italy has 6 points after 2 matches and has an absolute goal difference of +6. With Wales beating Turkey in the previous match, Italy officially became the first team to register their name in the round of 16.
In this match, captain Mancini introduced a new style of play, even stronger and more effective than the first match. The Azzurri played a lot of short ball, sliding in front of the opponent's goal but the defense was still very solid. The 3-0 result was completely deserved.
With this win, Italy under Mancini are unbeaten in all 29 matches, scoring 31 consecutive goals and not conceding any in that streak. The "Three Lions" also had 10 consecutive clean sheets, proving the strength of the defense.
