Almost two years after losing the European Championship final, England managed to get their revenge. In the first game of qualifying for EURO 2024 in Germany, the “Three Lions” beat Italy 2-1 in Naples. It was also England’s first win against Italy in a competitive match since November 1977.
After Luke Shaw was sent off (80′), all 9 remaining field players in England were temporarily in their own penalty area in the final quarter of an hour. But the desperately attacking “Azzurri” not only lacked the space, but also the brilliant ideas. The team of coach Roberto Mancini did not succeed more than the goal to 1: 2 by the debutant Mateo Retegui (56th).
Philips and Grealish sin
England, for their part, earned the win in the 1st half. Declan Rice from a corner kick (13′) and Captain Harry Kane from the penalty spot (44′) were concerned for the goals. The star striker surpassed Wayne Rooney with his 54th goal in the dress of the “Three Lions” and set a new record.
Had it not been for the usury of chances before the break, England could have closed the sack in the first half:
- 32. Kalvin Phillips comes to the conclusion from 20 meters all alone, but shoots just wide.
- Shortly before the half-time whistle, City team-mate Jack Grealish awarded the safe 3-0 after a nice cross pass.
As it was, the success at the start of the EM qualification had to be endured. After the first day of play, coach Gareth Southgate’s team shared the top spot in Group C with North Macedonia.
