Video: Darmian ends eight-year Italy goal drought

Watch Matteo Darmian give Italy the lead against North Macedonia with only his second ever goal for the Nazionale, the other being eight years ago.

The 33-year-old Inter right-back met the Giacomo Raspadori cross at the back post to open the scoring at the Stadio Olimpico in this evening’s EURO 2024 qualifier.

It was a fine way to celebrate his 40th senior cap for Italy, ending an eight-year goal drought.

The only previous Darmian goal for his country was also in a European Championship qualifier, 3-1 away to Azerbaijan on October 10, 2015.
