At Wembley in a friendly match, the old friends - the England and Italy teams - came together face to face. In comparison with the Friday matches, the head coaches made some changes in the composition of their teams, giving the game practice to as many performers as possible, for the England team made his debut James Tarkowski, appeared on the field from the first minutes.
Already in the 1st minute the English seriously failed in defense, Jorginho put Pembo in a classy pas on the shock position, but Ciro retarded with the ball and subsequently lost it. After a small start-up activity of the "scudra adzurra" England took the ball under its control, but the first dangerous moment arose just at the gate of Batland - Kandreev performed a jewelry pitch on Immobil, but the striker did not get on goal from a favorable position.
The British owned the ball a lot in the foreign half of the field, nothing foreshadowed trouble for the guests, but it still happened - at the 26th minute against the Sterling were violated the rules, Lingard decided to play without a whistle and otpasoval Vardi, and Jamie easily figured out Donnarumma - 1: 0. Before the end of the first half, the "lions" continued to monitor the game, but the dangerous moments at the Italian gate did not arise, as well as at the gate of Batland, so the teams went on a break with a minimal advantage of the hosts.
After the resumption of the game Di Biagio's wards began to act more actively, Insigne finally emerged from the shadows, but his efforts to threaten the possessions of Butland did not lead. England acted as the second number, but also did not shy away from time to time to carry out attacks, the truth none of them was not crowned with success.
The match was slowly coming to its end, the "scuadra of the adzurra" did not create dangerous moments, but still had its chance to restore parity - Tarkowski broke the rules in the fight with Chiesa in his own penalty area, and Aitekin, after watching the video replay, appointed a penalty that confidently implemented Insigne - 1: 1. Before the end of the match, the team no longer threatened each other's gates and was forced to settle for a draw after the meeting, after which the players go to the location of their clubs.
England - Italy 1: 1.
