It had been defined as the most important day and did not betray the expectations. Today’s three matches were the most evenly matched in the entire tournament. The semifinals rewarded the teams that capitalised on every single mistake of their opponents. Portugal managed to win a little against Italy (3-2, thanks to the goals of Costa, Santos, and the top scorer Honorio), while Spain was more determined, ending up 5-1 against France (with five different players on the match sheet). Tomorrow Spain and Portugal will meet to play the second title (20:30 CEST 19:30 PT), while France and Italy will play for the bronze medal (18:00 CEST). For the 5/7 place classification group, Switzerland won 2-0 against Germany, and two matches are scheduled for tomorrow, together with England
