Italy lost the Under-17 European Championship Final in a penalty shoot-out after their 2-2 draw with the Netherlands.
The Azzurrini had been trailing in Rotherham, then turned it around with two stunning long-range strikes in the space of 90 seconds.
Samuele Ricci’s scorcher was followed by an even better effort from captain Alessio Riccardi into the far top corner from over 20 metres out.
However, Brian Brobbey drew Holland level by sneaking up behind the Italian defenders.
