Wales suffered a bitter 1-0 defeat to Italy in their final Group A match on Sunday. The Azzurri were a superior side and imposed their style of play on the Stadio Olimpico pitch in front of their home crowd.
Bastoni came close to catching goalkeeper Danny Ward out with a powerful shot from outside the box, but he made a firm save.
Chris Gunter almost put Wales ahead with a dangerous header from a corner, but the ball went just wide of the right-hand post.
In the 39th minute, Marco Verratti took a free kick and sent a low cross into the box. Matteo Pessina managed to get in a rare shot to send the ball into the back of the net.
