Soccer: Amid difficulties, Italy book Final Four ticket
ARAB GAZETTE - (ANSA) - ROME..
Italy have overcome a multitude of difficulties to qualify for the Final Four of the UEFA Nations League, clinching the top spot in Group A1 with a 2-0 win in Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday.
The Azzurri were without a string of first-choice players because of injury and the coronavirus for the match, as well as Sunday's win over Poland and last week's victory over Estonia in a friendly, and coach Roberto Mancini was also unable to be on the sidelines due to COVID-19 too.
Goals by Andrea Belotti and Domenico Berardi mean the Azzurri join Belgium, Spain and world champions France in the finals, which will be held next October in Italy.
