Italy’s unusually impressive display of attacking soccer at this year’s European Championship lasted right up until Austria got in the way.

That didn’t stop the Italians, but it sure made them look more beatable after three straight praiseworthy wins in the group stage at Euro 2020.

“We knew there would be some potential banana skins in this match and we thought that it might even be tougher than the quarterfinals,” Italy coach Roberto Mancini said. “Of course Austria aren’t as good as the teams we’ll face in the next round but they really do make life tough for you.”

Italy managed to finally break through the stubborn Austrian defense in extra time on Saturday at Wembley Stadium, winning 2-1 with goals from Federico Chiesa and Matteo Pessina to earn a spot in the quarterfinals.
