Domenico Berardi’s goal for Italy against Poland set a new record for most passes leading up to a goal in the Nations League.
Although RAI Sport initially counted 27 in the build-up, Opta and the official Italy Twitter feed held a recount and put the figure at 30.
This is the first ever Nations League goal to be scored with 30 consecutive passes from the same team before the ball hit the back of the net.
Italy won the match 2-0 to leapfrog Poland and become the new Nations League Group A leaders.
