Spain, which beat Italy in the Nations League semifinals, will face Croatia in the final.

Facing Italy in the Nations League Semifinals, Spain won 2-1 with a late goal and became Croatia’s opponent in the final.

Assessing Leonardo Bonucci’s mistake in the third minute of the game, Yeremy Pino became the name that gave Spain the 1-0 lead. Italy’s response to this objective was not long in coming. Italy won a penalty when the ball hit Robin Le Normand’s hand as Galatasaray star Nicolo Zaniolo fired inside the penalty area. Ciro Immobile, who finished off after 11 minutes, made it 1-1.

In the 22nd minute, Davide Frattesi defeated goalkeeper Unai Simon after running behind the defense and lifted Italy to a 2-1 lead. However, following a VAR check, the position was found to be offside and the goal was disallowed.

In the game, whose second half was played by mutual positions, Joselu had the last word at 88. Rodri’s shot from outside the area bounced off the Italian defense. Joselu, in the past sixth, sent the remaining ball to the net with a touch and scored the goal that led Spain to victory with a score of 2-1.

With this result, Spain, which reached the final, became Croatia’s rival. The two teams will meet on Sunday June 18 at 21:45 CEST. On the same day, at 16:00 CET, Italy and the Netherlands will share their trump cards in the fight for third place.
