Meetings between Spain and Italy rarely disappoint and this one was no exception — even if it was an own goal that decided the contest.
Victory sees Spain progress to the knockout stage as group winners, while for Italy it’s all to play for against Croatia on Monday.
The one-way traffic continued after half-time, and Spain got to 11 efforts at goal without finding the net.
Some will focus on Donnarumma pushing Morata’s header into a helpless Calafiori’s path for Spain’s goal.
As the team in front of him were run ragged by Williams and Yamal, the 25-year-old Donnarumma kept things dignified.
