Matteo Pessina celebration: Italian midfielder produces incredible 'face slide' vs Austria

Italy was expected to beat Austria relatively comfortably in their Euro 2020 last-16 clash at Wembley.

However, things didn’t exactly go to plan for Roberto Mancini’s side.

The Italians came up against a hard-working and well-organized opponent in Austria and they were limited to very few opportunities.

In fact, during the 90 minutes, Austria possibly had better opportunities to win the match.

They actually thought they had won the game when Marko Arnautovic headed home in the 65th-minute only for VAR to rule it offside.

They then believed they should have had a penalty shortly afterward only for VAR, once again, to adjudge them to be offside.

So, extra time beckoned.

And within five minutes of extra time, Italy finally took the lead.
