Italy wins 2-0 in Bulgaria and hits the second success in as many qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup. The Azzurri, returning from their success against Northern Ireland, move to Sofia thanks to goals from Belotti and Locatelli. The Turin center forward broke the deadlock in the 43rd minute on a penalty kick. In the second half, the grenade touches the personal encore hitting the post and making the next tap-in wrong. Locatelli closes the accounts in the 82nd minute. The midfielder, served by Insigne, from inside the penalty area invents a surgical right-foot: unstoppable ball at the far post, 0-2 and game over. Italy is now thinking about Wednesday’s match against Lithuania in Vilnius: a third victory is needed to take another step towards the World Cup.
