After failing to qualify for the last two World Cups, Italy now risks missing next year's European Championship, too. As defending champion.
Italy's Cristiano Biraghi reacts during the Euro 2024 group C qualifying soccer match between North Macedonia and Italy at National Arena Todor Proeski in Skopje, North Macedonia, Saturday, Sept. 9, 2023. After failing to qualify for the last two World Cups, Italy now risks missing next year's European Championship, too.
While it was an improvement from last year's loss in Palermo to North Macedonia that eliminated the Azzurri from the World Cup qualifying playoffs, it was still far below expectations against a team ranked 68th by FIFA. Ciro Immobile celebrated his first match as captain by putting Italy ahead with a header shortly after the break but Enis Bardhi equalized for the hosts with a free kick in the 81st.
Zinchenko put Ukraine ahead with a side-footed finish in the 26th before Kyle Walker equalized with his first goal for England, on his 77th appearance, in the 41st.
