LONDON: Austria kept believing they could come back from two goals down against Italy in extra time in their last 16 game on Saturday but ultimately paid the price for small mistakes, said coach Franco Foda.
His team were victorious in two group matches, their first ever wins at a European Championship, and also advanced to the knockout stage of the tournament for the first time. "Even after 2-0 behind the team kept believing. That was very impressive. We had a good dynamic. Defensively we were very solid."The Italians, who had won all their group matches and are now unbeaten in 31 matches, broke the deadlock with goals from substitutes Federico Chiesa and Matteo Pessina.
Chiesa was left with far too much space as he fired Italy ahead while Pessina was marked too late when he rifled in their second goal.
