The match between the Italy U21 team and Armenia took place last night with unbelievable drama. The final result was 1-0 in favor of the Italian team, but the decisive goal was only scored in the 95th minute, thanks to player Alphadjo Cisse. This was a match in which Italy faced many difficulties, as they were unable to score during regular time and encountered many obstacles from Armenia's defense.
Before the decisive goal, U21 Italy had many opportunities but could not take advantage. Koleosho missed a penalty in the 77th minute, while Cisse and Comuzzo also had shots that hit the post. Then in injury time, after an excellent play from Liberali, Cherubini had the opportunity to face the Armenian goalkeeper. However, the goalkeeper made a successful save, but Cisse was there in time to score with a decisive shot.
This victory helps the Italian U21 team maintain their hopes of winning tickets to the Euro 2027 finals. They will need to win the next match against the Polish U21 team on October 5, a match of vital nature. According to regulations, if two teams have the same number of points, the goal difference will determine the position. Italy needs to win with a difference of two goals or more, after losing 1-2 in the first leg.
Coach Silvio Baldini shared after the match that, if there were no goals, it would be a great injustice for the team, because they created many opportunities but could not convert them into goals. He also emphasized that the team needs to fully concentrate on the battle with Poland, because this is a decisive match.
With this result, U21 Italy now has 24 points, ranking second in the group, behind U21 Poland with 27 points. They will need maximum concentration and determination in the upcoming matches to have a chance to win tickets to Euro 2027. In the current situation, Italy also has to monitor the situation of other teams, especially Spain, the team competing for second place.
The remaining match in the group between Spain and Romania will also have a big impact on Italy's chances. They need to not only win but also hope that Spain does not achieve a better result against Romania in the match on the island of Ibiza.
All eyes will be on Italy U21's next match, where they not only need a victory but also need to show the strength of a big team.
