Match overview
Czechoslovakia claimed third place in dramatic fashion, defeating Italy in an epic penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw. Jurkemik’s second-half opener was cancelled out by Graziani’s response, setting up a nerve-wracking conclusion. The penalty shootout became a marathon affair, with Czechoslovakia ultimately prevailing 9-8 in a thrilling climax.
Trivia
This marathon penalty shootout remains one of the longest in European Championship history, featuring seventeen successful penalties before Italy’s Fulvio Collovati missed the decisive kick. Antonín Panenka, famous for his audacious chip in the 1976 final, calmly converted his penalty to help secure Czechoslovakia’s bronze medal.
