Italy won easily against Israel this Monday evening in the Nations League, thus retaining its place as leader of the group ahead of the Blues.
Italy is stubborn. After its draw conceded in numerical inferiority for more than a half against Belgium last Thursday (2-2), the Nazionale strolled against Israel (1-4), this Monday evening in the League of Nations.
Luciano Spalletti’s men took the lead on a penalty from Mateo Retegui (41e). Captain of the evening, the Neapolitan Giovanni Di Lorenzo made the break after the break (54e), before scoring a double at the end of the game (79e). In the meantime, the Israelis had reduced the mark (66e), but Davide Frattesi gave the Squadra Azzurra some air (72e).
Italy and France will meet in November
Italy thus retains the lead of the group, with one point ahead of France, which won at the same time in Belgium (1-2). The French and Italians will meet in November, in Milan, for a match which will probably resemble a small final for first place in the group.
