FT: France 2-0 Belgium
Alessandro Buongiorno

“We are very happy, we knew it was not going to be easy, as the opponents are tough and provided difficulties, but what matters is that we emerged victorious,” Buongiorno told RAI Sport.

“We try to work with the coach in training to improve the movements, both attacking and defending. It is important to play and train, I think it went well.”

Israel 1-2 Italy: Abu Fani!

Free kick is knocked down by two Israeli headers and Abu Fani is quickest to react, firing it through a sea of legs into the far bottom corner from 14 yards!

89'

That rain is really coming down now. Donnarumma just slipped and fell over all by himself.

88'

OOF! Accidental, but Retegui absolutely caught Jaber in the face with an elbow. He was falling over and perhaps didn’t even know he was there, but ouch. Yellow card.

85'

Zaccagni and Retegui on, Kean and Ricci off for Italy.

83'

Kean takes on two and goes down, there wasn’t even a tackle, he just keeled over…

82'

Brescianini dribbles into the box, takes on two, eventually goes down between them, but the referee waves play on. Meanwhile, Bastoni gets into an argument with Revivo.

Cambiaso gets down the right, rolls across and it’s cut out. Good move from Brescianini to start that run.

David on, Abada off for Israel.

Offside confirmed by VAR

Italy goal disallowed

Tonali was flagged offside when meeting the Kean roll across from seven yards. It was… tight.

Well that was dumb. Gatti throws the ball away for time-wasting, ref gives him a yellow card. Totally pointless.

71'

Dimarco off, Udogie on

68'

Israel on the attack with Solomon, who gets past two and manages to pull back from the by-line, Buongiorno diving header puts it out for a corner.
