Federico Chiesa is the fans’ Man of the Match for Italy 1-1 Spain (4-2 pens)

Federico Chiesa is the Azzurri Man of the Match for Italy vs. Spain, a crucial Euro semi-final, which ended in a penalty shoot-out victory for Coach Mancini’s lads.

The 23-year-old from Liguria received 50.28% of the fans’ vote on the FIGC website, ahead of Gianluigi Donnarumma (32.78%) and Jorginho (7.2%).

A constant threat to the opposition defence, he played 107 minutes full of quality, sprinting and sacrifice. He topped it all in the 60th minute with a great shot that passed Unai Simon, giving the Azzurri the initial advantage. Yet another important performance for the art lover in this European Championship.
