Full Time - Netherlands 2-3 Italy
Really entertaining game, Italy take the 3rd place spot but all eyes are on the final tonight, Croatia vs Spain. It’s such a tough game to call, wouldn’t surprise me if it’s a long night and it’s not decided in regular time.
Unbelievable with Italy performance on second half seems very poor, success leaded early 2-0 trough goals scoring by Dimarco on 6th minutes then second goals scored by Frattesi on 20th minutes. But second half Italy have conceded two goals and third goals from Chiesa on 72th made Italy success lock third placed on UEFA Nation League final four. First half and second half, Netherland has many great attempt but several time Gianluigi Donnarumma save made Italy success won as third position.
Few hours later has final match between Croatia vs Spain, I think Spain is favorite for winning UEFA Nation in this time because they has more experienced squad than Croatia and Spain lead head to head from Croatia.
The way this Italian plays football is very different, it doesn't change at also. I feel like every time I watch a match, the guys always take the lead, then they suddenly turn to the defense, they always press again after conceding a goal, it's really interesting. It is another matter that Chiesa threw the ball out when there was space in front of him, instead of hitting it and giving it to pellegrini and then giving it to zaniolo, who was empty in the next position. In Italy's 2nd and 3rd goals, the mistakes of the Dutch defense were so simple that in one of them van dijk, who was called the "best defender in the world", made the mistake. The Netherlands will be doomed to lose tournaments as long as it continues.
