Italy is the sole leader of group 2 of League A of the Nations League 2025 (top of France and Belgium) after defeating Israel yesterday on the second day, in a match played in a neutral match, in Budapest, for security reasons due to the war in Gaza. Davide Frattesi and Moise Kean They achieved a 1-2 victory with the ‘azzurri’ booking their place towards the quarter-finals.
Wanting to forget the blow of being eliminated in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 against Switzerland, the ‘Nazionale’ went ahead and, after their excellent victory on Friday against Kylian Mbappé’s France at the Parc des Princes (1- 3), this Monday he confirmed his ambitions with a 0-2 victory over the Israeli team, which on the first day lost 3-1 against Belgium. The 400 Italian fans present at the Bozsik Arena in Budapest turned their backs when the Israeli anthem was played.
Luciano Spalletti, Italian coach, who made five changes to the Paris eleven (among them Riccardo Calafiori, who suffered a knock against the Gauls), considered that yesterday’s match was a trap match and the ‘azzurri’ knew how solve it.
They had to wait until the 38th minute to score, but Frattesi did just that, taking advantage of a ball sent to him by Federico Dimarco. The now Inter midfielder has already scored against France.
In the 62nd minute Italy was 0-2 against the Hebrew team and they achieved it kean (one of the new features this Monday at the beginning of eleven of Spallettiafter coming on in the 81st minute against France) to pass Giacomo Raspadoriwho also scored on Friday against the ‘bleus’.
In any case, Israel added excitement towards the end of the match, as Abu Fani reduced the deficit in the 90th minute after taking advantage of a ball in the area to beat Gianluigi Donnarumma with his right foot.
