It ends in a draw in Gdansk. The blues do not go beyond 0-0 against Poland but they keep their head in the group of Nations League. Italy had the opportunities to win the game. Especially with Church in the first half (high conclusion from a good position) and with Emerson Palmieri in the second half (header out of a breath). The nastiness in front of the goal that is needed in these situations is missing. Bench only for Immobile, who as confirmed by Mancini at the end of the match will be the starter against the Netherlands in Bergamo. Bad Jorginho e Belotti (which will be disqualified), well all the back pack. Mostly Acerbi kept Lewandowski at bay. Overall a good Italy that with a little precision could certainly have brought home the three points. And he would have deserved them.
