The final match will be between Italy and England at Wembley
Stadium on the evening of Sunday, 11 July, 2021 at 8pm, live on SS Football
(DStv channel 205 and GOtv channel 31) and SS Euro2020 (DStv channel 204 and
GOtv channel 32).
Italy have looked the pick of the teams through the course
of the tournament, though they had to resort to extra time and penalties to
finally overcome Spain in the first Semifinal on Tuesday night. An equaliser
from Spain’s Alvaro Morata sent the game to a full 120 minutes, but a save by
Italy’s Gianluigi Donnarumma from the same attacker’s penalty in the shootout
proved the key difference between the rivals.
England’s semi-final also went a full 120 minutes, but a
Harry Kane goal – scored off the rebound from a penalty saved by Kasper
Schmeichel – ensured that they triumphed 2-1 over a brave Danish side which had
given the tournament so much in the wake of Christian Eriksen’s collapse in
their opening game against Finland.
The Three Lions are into their first European Championship
Final and a first major tournament final since they won the World Cup 55 years
ago. With home support at Wembley, England finally, truly believes that
‘football is coming home’.
