Russia v Italy
Russia (0) v (0) Italy
We're at pitch 1 with Russia and Italy. From the beginning we see two very well-organized teams. Russia has the two first shots at goal, but without luck. However, Russia gets in the lead after 2 minutes of play, and soon after it's 2-0.Russia plays very patiently and it surely pays off. The third goal is a lucky one, but the next two are well earned. 5-0!
Italy plays a good game so far, Russia is just a better game.
Italy nets one before half time, so it's 5-1.
Italy starts out with new energy in the second half and makes it 5-2. Is this the Italian Comeback?
Italy's defense is much better now and with more aggression in their play they make it almost all the way!
With one minute to go they make it 7-6. What a comeback!
Russia keeps Italy away in the last minute and wins a narrow victory in an exciting game!
