And it was Israel's turn to arrive! Kanichowsky managed to pass the ball in the middle to Solomon, who hit it hard and sent the ball to the right of the goal!

Bellanova, with a pass inside the area, risked a shot and sent the ball over the goal.

Dimarco, with a shot from outside the area, sent the ball dangerously to the right of the goal!

Italy continues to have possession in a slow game with little happening on the field.

Upon entering the Bellanova area you were robbed and caught in a trap. Dimarcou bateu no goal and sent a ball for a goal.

Italy tries to maintain possession in the attacking half, going forward, but still without causing any danger.

We have a slower start to the game, where both teams are still studying each other on the field.

Moise Kean takes the first touch and the ball rolls for the first half of the match!

"Tomorrow is the time for confirmations because, although beautifully crafted, a win isn't enough to say that you're there now. We need to follow up the result and the good behavior of Friday's game. I saw a lot of beautiful things, with France we got a win that is good for everyone and deserves the attention of the press. I'm confident we can play the soccer we showed in the last match. A team like Italy - underlines Spalletti - will always have twenty players to form a strong team. These conditions will always be present, regardless of the period. Maybe you have to be good at understanding the moments, for example in this period here we don't have the real thoroughbreds from a technical-football point of view, we don't have Baggio, Del Piero or Totti. But we do have many who know how to do many things, who know how to adapt, a soccer of feeling and sacrifice. And those things can make the difference. We're back to being more available, to taking on team responsibilities. On Friday, more than a team, we were brothers who formed a team and that's the key to finding the solution to any difficulty. It will be a totally different game to the one against France,” Spalletti warned, ”because I think we'll have to play in their half of the field, consequently raise the defensive line and be careful to make those preventions and keep our balance because then in the open field there could be dangers. Given their social problems and the difficulties they're going through,” he added at the press conference, ”they'll show twice as much desire. We'll evaluate it tomorrow - confirms the coach - but I think it would be wrong to let him play from the start. He needs to be assessed in training today, but he says he's fine. It's difficult to re-propose the team that started from the beginning with France, it's impossible to relieve everyone's fatigue in such a short space of time. There could be three, four or five changes".

Italy, on the other hand, will be without Calafiori, Scamacca and Barella, who are all injured: Donnarumma, Di Lorenzo, Buongiorni and Bastoni; Cambiaso, Ricci, Tonali, Frattesi and Dimarco; Raspadori and Retegui.

Without Dasa, who is injured, Israel's probable team is: Gerafi, Shlomo, Nachmias and Gandelman; Jehezkel, Lavi, Peretz and Gropper; Solomon, Gloukh and Khalaili.

The other groups in League A, the elite of the Nations League, include Portugal, Croatia, Poland and Scotland in group 1. Group 3 has Germany, the Netherlands, Bosnia and Hungary. Finally, group 4 is made up of Denmark, Spain, Serbia and Switzerland: Denmark, Spain, Serbia and Switzerland.
