Italy, held in check by North Macedonia (1-1) on Saturday in Skopje, returned to the race to qualify for Euro 2024 in Group C by beating Ukraine 2-1 in Milan . In Group A, Spain easily won 6-0 against Cyprus.
The reigning European champions confirmed their superiority thanks to a double from Sassuolo attacking midfielder Davide Frattesi (12th and 29th). On one of the rare Ukrainian incursions into the Italian penalty area, Andriy Yarmolenko reduced the score (41st) and made the 70,000 spectators at San Siro doubtful.
This 2nd success in 4 matches allows the Nazionale to return with 7 points to match their opponent of the day who played one more match. England is the solid leader of this group C with 13 points in 5 matches.
Spain is having fun
Once again supported by its young players, Spain for its part won very quietly against Cyprus in Granada (6-0) and is also back in the race to qualify for the final phase. La Roja consolidates its 2nd place and comes back to 6 points behind Scotland, leader of the group with a match in advance.
The Spanish victory seemed assured at the end of the first period, after two goals from Gavi (18th) and Mikel Merino (33rd). But La Roja did not stop there and scored four more, through their new arrivals Joselu (70th), Ferran Torres (73rd, 84th) and Alex Baena (77th).
