The final whistle came almost without warning, and with it came applause from the fans all around the stadium.
It came and went, first from the Italian sections and then from the rest of the ground.
There had been disappointment in the stands because Italy had wanted the win, but nobody could deny what the players had given them.
90 minutes of hard-fought football, but in the end both sides would share the spoils.
"And that's it," the commentator said with a breath on the broadcast.
"Italy one, England one and what a match this has turned out to be despite the one-all scoreline!"
"Yeah," his partner agreed. "The final minutes had been so cagey that I really thought that either side could win it, but at last, it seems that will have to be for another day."
"England took the lead through Phil Foden in the first half.
Italy came back through Leo Calderon in the seventy-seventh minute, and after that, neither side could find the goal that would have settled it."
