Italy extends unbeaten run to reach Nations League finals

The Hindu  

Italy gave another impressive performance as it reached the Nations League final four and extended its unbeaten run to 22 games with a 2-0 win away to Bosnia on Wednesday. Andrea Belotti broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute and Domenico Berardi added the second with a magnificent volley midway through the second half as Italy topped Group A1 with 12 points from six games. Italy was again missing coach Roberto Mancini after he tested positive for COVID-19 as well as a number of key players including injured defenders Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci, and forward Ciro Immobile over a COVID-19 related issue. “The coach wants us to play our football wherever we go and that is the mentality weve really taken in,” said Italy winger Lorenzo Insigne.
