Italy U21 coach Gigi di Biagio was satisfied with their 0-0 draw against Euros opponents Portugal.
Italy had numerous scoring opportunities and hit the woodwork.
“Sweden is behind us, we had to win this game and didn't manage it. It was the right approach, tempo and style, we just lacked the goal.
“We have a chance of going through and will fight to the end," Coach Di Biagio told Rai Sport.
