As part of the Euro 2024 qualifiers, Italy dominated North Macedonia (5-2) this Friday evening, while England won against Malta (2-0).
At the end of a match that was not completely controlled, Italy finally achieved a very important victory against North Macedonia (4-2), this Friday evening at the Olympic stadium in Rome. In a pleasant first period, the Nazionale took the lead thanks to a header from Darmian (17th) then Chiesa, who scored a superb double (41st, 45th+2).
Yes, but now, Spalletti’s men relaxed in the second act, relaunching the Macedonians who returned to the game thanks to a double from Atanasov (52nd, 74th). Doubt then seized the reigning European champions, who finally avoided a complicated end to the match by making the break again via Raspadori (81st), before El Shaarawy (90th + 3) definitively seals the fate of the game.
Chiesa scores a double!

A Ukraine-Italy final on Monday
Italy will thus be able to be satisfied with a simple draw against Ukraine, Monday evening, during the last match of these qualifiers, to validate its ticket to Germany, where the Euro will be played.
At the same time, England, already qualified, did not strain its talent to win 2-0 in front of its audience against the modest selection of Malta (2-0), last in the group. An own goal and a goal from the inevitable Harry Kane (75th) allowed the English to consolidate their first place.
