Italy has quickly qualified for the Euro 2020 qualifiers as one of the few teams that still have all wins up to this point. Coach Roberto Mancini's team is also the team with the best form in the world at the moment with a series of 9 consecutive wins (including 8 in the Euro 2020 qualifiers). Therefore, matches like the one against Bosnia & Herzegovina are an opportunity for coach Roberto Mancini to experiment with the squad and take advantage of... to set a record.
Although the nature of the match is no longer important, coach Mancini still used a strong starting lineup for Italy. Notably, the 19-year-old midfielder is known as the "new Andrea Pirlo", Sandro Tonali started for the first time in the national team. Up front is the trio Andrea Belotti - Lorenzo Insigne - Federico Bernardeschi.
Against the opponent who had run out of chances to win an official ticket but was guaranteed a place in the play-off, Italy did not take too much time to show their superiority. In the 21st minute, center back Francesco Acerbi, in an attack, had a neat finish with his right foot to open the score. This was also the first goal that Acerbi scored for the Italian team.
By the 37th minute, the score was 2-0 for Italy. Belotti made his mark with a dribbling dribble past 2 Bosnia players before passing to Insigne to lightly shoot past goalkeeper Ibrahim Sehic. This was also the final goal before the two teams entered the break.
Early in the second half, the outcome of the match was decided when Italy increased the score to 3-0. This time, Belotti scored with a beautiful finish from outside the penalty area after a precise pass from Barella. The goal of the Torino striker left the home team without any hope of creating a surprise.
The remaining time saw Italy play leisurely against a Bosnia that had lost motivation. Coach Mancini even created an opportunity for... goalkeeper pierluigi Gollini to make his debut for the national team by replacing Donnarumma in the 88th minute.
Thus, up to this point, Italy is the team with the most points in the Euro 2020 Qualifiers, having won all 9 matches and with 27 points. With an impressive performance in Bosnia, coach Mancini has helped the Azzurri win 10 consecutive matches for the first time in history.
This is an excellent Euro qualifying campaign for the Thien thanh team when they scored 28 goals in the last 9 matches. This is a completely superior number if we know that Italy has only scored 14 goals in the previous 18 matches. It is not an exaggeration to say that the army in the army of the north is on the right track under the leadership of the 54-year-old strategist.
