When it came down to a penalty shoot-out in Denmark, Marten De Roon, Ali Adnan, Papu Gomez (who hit the bar), Andrea Masiello and Cornelius (saved) stepped up.
“We had four penalty takers. (Coach Gian Piero) Gasperini asked twice who wanted to take one, so when nobody said anything, in the end I stepped forward,” revealed Cornelius in the mixed zone.
“We are disappointed with the way we went out, thinking about how the two games were played.”
