Italy-Slovenia 4-0: goals from Maggiore, Raspadori and two from Cutrone | Final results

A fundamental match. That of tonight in Maribor against the hosts of Slovenia will decide the future of the azzurrini from Nicolato. With a victory (but not only) Italy is sure to move on to the quarterfinals and goals are needed to win. And those, with Scamacca disqualified, the Under 21 asks Captain Cutrone in tandem with Raspadori. Patrick has not yet scored this season but between Wolverhamtpon, Fiorentina and Valencia he has played very little: the 143 minutes of the field at the European Championship so far are almost three times the turnover compared to the employment in two months at Valencia. However, with the Under team he scored in two key games of the cycle, two goals against Iceland and goals against Ireland. In short, Cutrone in the blue jersey is a certainty.
