But the Dutch launched a concerted second half comeback, making three attacking changes at the break, laying siege to Italy’s goal and seeing Steven Bergwijn pull a goal back in the 68th minute. But even though nine minutes of stoppage time was added on, Italy held out under home pressure for victory. Italy made a quick start as they put together a sequence of quick passes with Giacomo Raspadori backheeling the ball to Dimarco for a thunderous finish. The transformed Dutch side tested Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in the second half. Italy lost to a last-minute goal in their semi-final against Spain on Thursday.
