Italy confidently - with a score of 3:0 - defeated the Swiss team and triumphed at their home stadium. Italy's team strategist R. Mancini said after the match: "France, Portugal, and Belgium national teams are participating in the European Championship - one of them is the World Champion, the other - the European Champion, and the third - the first in the world ranking of national teams. Teams with such achievements were not created in a year. It is natural that we are somewhat behind them, but in football, incredible things can happen - nothing should be taken for granted." "Every match is difficult, and in each of them, victory must be fought for. I am very lucky to have a group of amazing players who enjoy playing football on the field and are not afraid to take risks - in my opinion, this is the basis of successful play. My players demonstrate excellent play and all credit should be given to them for such a team performance," added the coach.
