Federico Chiesa and Matteo Pessina struck in extra-time to send Italy into the Euro 2020 quarter-finals - but underdogs Austria gave the Azzurri a real scare during their 2-1 win at Wembley on Saturday night. That prospect seemed in serious doubt midway through the second half of the match. It was the first goal Italy had conceded in 1,168 minutes and Austria went close to an equaliser when Gregoritsch shot wide in the final seconds. But the full-time whistle sparked celebrations from the Italy players and their supporters, who will hope to return to Wembley for the semi-finals. Italy play the winner of Belgium vs Portugal on Friday night in Munich in the quarter-finals of Euro 2020.
