ANKARA, July 7 — Italy reached the Euro 2020 final after beating Spain in a penalty shootout Tuesday.

Fans at London’s Wembley Stadium witnessed a tight match in the first half with both sides having just a few attempts on goal, reported Anadolu Agency.

The first half ended 0-0.

Italy took a 1-0 lead with Federico Chiesa’s brilliant finish after a great counter-attack in the 60th minute.

Spain had a chance to level the score five minutes later, but Mikel Oyarzabal failed to make contact with the header, missing a huge opportunity.
