Italy got an equalizer in the second half and after 90 minutes and extra-time the match was still tied 1-1 meaning it would need penalties to decide a winner and that is when the real drama began. With fans of England and Italy in equal measure, the Dubai residents did their best to cheer their teams on but in the end, it was the Italians who emerged victorious to win the European Championship.
