After Extra Time: 0-0 after 90 minutes and 120 minutes
The match was decided by toss of coin: USSR captain Albert Shesternyov called incorrectly.
Knocked out of the 1966 FIFA World Cup by the Soviet Union, Italy found the same opponents blocking their path to the final of the 1968 UEFA European Football Championship – this time they were granted a fortuitous way through.
