EURO 2024: Switzerland Beats Italy for First Time in 31 Years

Switzerland advanced to the quarter-finals with a 2-0 win over Italy, their first victory against the Azzurri in 31 years, leaving Italian fans furious over the "appalling performance."

Defending champions Italy crashed out of Euro 2024 with a painful defeat in Berlin. The Swiss dominated the game, delivering a solid display against the lackluster Italian side, which struggled in ball possession and shots on target. Italy managed just one shot on target in 95 minutes.

Italy’s captain Gianluigi Donnarumma called the performance "inexcusable," while fans labeled it the "worst" game in decades. Italy has conceded the first goal in all four of their tournament games.

Switzerland deservedly moved on to the quarter-finals, where they will face the winner of the England-Slovakia game.
