2-0！ The defending champions fell with a bang, Italy is difficult to replicate the miracle, and Donnarumma is difficult to save

At 0:00 a.m. on June 30, Beijing time, the European Cup ushered in a matchup in the 1/8 finals, Switzerland vs. Italy.

Both sides played cautiously from the start, with Switzerland dominating the pitch but neither team was able to threaten the opposition goal.

In the 11th minute, Switzerland completed the first goal of the game, Ndoye received a long pass from a teammate on the right side and chose to hit the goal directly, but this time the shot failed to hit the right part, and the ball was off the line.

In the 15th minute, Italy won a corner kick and Faggioli drove the ball back to find a team-mate, but the latter's long-range shot also failed to hit the right spot and failed to threaten.

In the 23rd minute, Switzerland played a brilliant upfield and Embolo had a great one-on-one chance, before his shot was miraculously deflected by Donnarumma and Italy escaped.

Just one minute later, Chiesa used his individual ability to get past several people in quick succession in the box, before his inside shot was blocked by a defender.

In the 31st minute, Switzerland laid siege to Italy, but there were not many options to face the team's iron bucket formation, and Rodriguez had to choose to shoot from distance, but the ball went just over the crossbar.

After taking the lead, Switzerland shrank their defence, and the Italian formation pressed up and began to lay siege to Switzerland.

In the 36th minute, Switzerland suddenly picked up, Vargas passed the ball near the penalty spot on the left side, and the follow-up Freuler adjusted and completed a volley, and Switzerland scored first, leading Italy 1-0.

In first-half stoppage time, Switzerland threatened again when Riddle's long-range shot was tricky and Donnarumma made another brilliant save that bounced off the post after a good save.

At half-time, Switzerland temporarily led Italy 1-0.

Just one minute into the second half, Switzerland attacked down the left flank, patiently back-to-back the ball to Vargas, who cut inside and fired a brilliant world shot that went straight into the far corner to give Switzerland a 2-0 lead.

In the 50th minute, Schell's header hit the post of his own goal, and Switzerland almost gave Italy an own goal.

In the time since, Italy have made changes to their line-up, but they have struggled to form an effective attack.

In the 72nd minute, Italy finally had a shot on target, but Retegui's shot failed to hit the target and the ball was easily reached by Sommer.

In the 73rd minute, Scamacca's flanked shot at the back post hit the post and Italy missed a golden chance to pull a goal back.

In the 82nd minute, Switzerland launched a quick counterattack, and Zubair, who followed up in the penalty area, completed a shot from a tight angle, and the ball cut through Donnarumma's fingertips and out of the bottom line.

At full-time, Switzerland eliminated Italy 2-0.
