JAKARTA - Two goals created in extra time from Federico Chiesa and Matteo Pessina brought Italy to beat Austria 2-1 in the last 16 match at Wembley Stadium, London, Sunday morning, which also followed Denmark, who had already qualified after thrashing. Wales 4-0, into the quarter-finals of Euro 2020.

Reported by Antara, Sunday, June 27, Federico Chiesa finally broke the Italian deadlock in the fifth minute of the first extra time after 2x45 minutes the match against Austria remained 0-0.

Chiesa's goal began with a high cross from the left side of the field sent by Leonardo Spinazzola. Chiesa briefly outwit an Austrian defender before netting a missed goal against goalkeeper Daniel Bachman.

Ten minutes later in the 105th minute, it was Matteo Pessina's turn to score a goal which also doubled the position 2-0.

Lorenzo Insigne sent a cross to Francesco Acerbi who was still in the corner. He then stabbed into the Austrian defense in a move like a true centre-forward to channel the ball to Pessina who leapt past an Austrian tackle to send a superb finish past Daniel Bachman.

Austria pulled one back in the 114th minute when Sasa Kalajdzic met Louis Schaub's corner which he finished with a header that flopped past Gianluigi Donnarumma.

This is the first time Italy have conceded in their last 12 matches.

Austria desperately tried to equalize to force Italy to go to penalties. But their efforts failed, in part because of the resilience of Donnarumma who among others parried a hard kick from substitute Louis Schaub.

Austria stunned Italy in the second half when Marco Arnautovic's header found Gianluigi Donnarumma but the goal was ruled out for offside.

It was the only chance the ball went into the net in 90 minutes of normal time in the last 16 match between Italy and Austria at Wembley Stadium, London, Sunday morning WIB, but unfortunately was later declared invalid for offside.

The match took place at a moderate pace with Italy's attacking initiative, but Austria also made several punches into the Azzurri defence.

Two other good chances came in the 17th minute of the first half when Nicolo Barella's shot from the left flank by Leonardo Spinazzola was saved by Austrian goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann.

Another good opportunity was also created in the first half when in the 32nd minute Ciro Immobile's shot, which Bachman couldn't block, hit the post.

In the 65th minute, Arnautovic headed the ball into the Italian goal after meeting David Alaba's cross from his right who continued to cross from the center of the field. This goal was later disallowed by the referee because Arnautovic was declared offside before the goal occurred.

Italy finally won again but for the first time the Azzurri conceded after 11 games, always keeping a clean sheet. Italy will face Portugal or Belgium in the quarter-finals in Munich on July 2.
