Italy beat Spain 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in a magnificent Euro 2020 semi-final on Tuesday.

Jorginho converted the decisive penalty kick on Tuesday to give Italy a win over Spain and a spot in the final. The midfielder took a trademark hop at the end of his run-up before rolling the ball into the bottom corner.

The match had finished 1-1 through extra time. Federico Chiesa scored for Italy with a curling shot in the 60th minute but Alvaro Morata equalized for Spain in the 80th. Morata missed the next-to-last kick in the shootout, giving Jorginho the chance to win it.

Italy will face either England or Denmark at the final on Sunday.
