Verratti had won a free kick just a little wide of the penalty box and Bernardeschi took over. He flung in a low and finely inviting ball into the box, which Pessina is the first to meet, as he guides his left footed volley to the bottom left corner. Ward is left helpless as he can only watch the ball go past. Italy are 1-0 up.

Ethan Ampadu of Wales is shown the first straight red card in the 55th minute as he catches Bernardeschi with a studs up stamping challenge. Bernardeschi stays on the ground and looked in sheer pain as Hategan takes out the red card. Ampadu, looking quite perplexed at the referee’s decision is the first to be shown a red card in this summer’s tournament, as he walks off the field.
