The Azzurri are within just a win or draw from outrightly breaking the record.

Italy have entered the record books once more after beating Wales in their final group game of Euro 2020. The Azzurri put in a good shift to beat the Dragons by a goal to nil to extend their unbeaten record in all competitions to 30, equalling the record they set between 1935 and 1939.

It was without doubt a one-way traffic with Roberto Mancini's dominating right from kick-off. Although the visitors had a few good chances falling their way, the side that has established itself as one of the tournament's favorites got the best opportunities to run away with three crucial points. Six minutes before half time, Matteo Pessina broke the deadlock for the hosts and the goal will utimately become the after both sides failed to score anymore.

Moments after the resumption of play in the second half, Ethan Ampadu picked up a straight red card for a late challenge on Federico Bernadeschi. Wales were subsequently forced to finish the night's clash with 10 men for a little over 35 minutes but did not relent. The best of chances that came their way was, perhaps, the one that fell the way of captain Gareth Bale but was smashed well over the bar by the Real Madrid man.

The win was enough to secure Italy's place as the winners of Group A. The Azzurri finished the campaign with nine points, qualifying to the Round of 16 alongside Wales who were handed a late scare by Switzerland. Both teams are tied on four points but with the latter defeating Turkey 3-1, the Dragons edged them and proceeded into the knockout stage with a better goal difference.
