Italy won at the end of an incredible final a capital victory against Israel 5-4 in the qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup in Debrecen in Hungary.
The Nazional, humiliated by Norway in early June (3-0), took hold, thanks to this third success in four matches, of the 2nd place in group I, synonymous with dams.
She accuses three points behind Norway (12 points) but now is ahead of Israel, who has played one more match, thanks to her best goal difference (9 points, +5 against +4).
Tonali releases his own in the 91st
Gennaro Gattuso, who succeeded Luciano Spalletti after the rout of Oslo, went through all states. He first saw his team, attractive against Estonia (5-0) three days earlier, take the water to be led 1-0 (16th), then 2-1 (52nd).
She then resumed, thanks to a double of Moise Kean (40th, 54th), then thanks to Mateo Politano (62nd) and Giacomo Raspadori (81st) to lead 4-2.
But the Azzurri, again feverish, let their opponents return to the scoring in the final with two goals in two minutes (87th, 89th). Italian salvation came in the additional time of Sandro Tonali (90th+1), with a goal that gives hope to a whole country still traumatized by its absences from the last two World Cups.
