The Match Report: Pellegrini Lo. 17 ‘(I), Van De Beek 25’ (B).
IT MATCH – Second consecutive draw for the Azzurri at Gewiss Stadium they do not go beyond 1-1 against Holland. The Italian national team started well and took the lead on 17 ‘thanks to Lorenzo Pellegrini, good at taking advantage of an excellent assist from Barella. The joy for Mancini’s men lasts for a few minutes and they are resumed at 25 ‘from Van De Beek. In the second half a good amount of play expressed by the hosts who, however, waste some scoring opportunities, in particular one with Immobile that face to face with Cillessen fails to pierce the goalkeeper. In the final, the teams seem to be satisfied with a draw or in any case they no longer have the strength to attempt the latest attacks. Thanks to the 3-0 win over Bosnia, Poland leaps to the top of the group at 7 points, one more than Italy who will meet the red and white in the next Nations League match scheduled for November 15th.
