An authentic rematch recalling the dramatic Euro 2020 final, with Italy and England meeting again in an official fixture. After the conclusion of Euro 2020 and two clashes in the Nations League, the Azzurri and the Three Lions battled for the opening three points to position themselves for the next European Nations Cup, set to take place in Germany next year. This time England seized the moment, edging Italy 1-2 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
The match offered Italy a real chance to reignite the passion of their fans after missing out on Qatar 2022, but the hopes did not materialize. Notable was the debut goal from Mateo Retegui, who became the breakthrough scorer for Roberto Mancini’s side.
Harry Kane added a second goal for England, clinching the tally and cementing his status as England’s all-time top scorer, surpassing Wayne Rooney.
