Spain Vs. Italy, Euro 2012 Final: Match Underway

Stay connected with SB Nation

There's on match of football left in Euro 2012. It's not going to go down as a classic unless something magical happens in this final, but hey, something magical could still happen in this final. Anyway, we're off and running in the Olympic Stadium, where Spain are taking on Italy. It's not the Spain-Germany final most were expecting, but it should still be plenty of fun*.

*If you reeeeally like short passing.

Spain kick us off, managing to hold the ball for fewer than twenty seconds before a loose forward pass gives Italy possession. The defence managed to recover, and they looked like breaking against Italy for a second if not for Andres Iniesta's flick being just a little bit off target. Italy eventually work it back, only for Andrea Pirlo to waste possession with a horribly shanked long-range shot. That's not like him.
