Estonia vs Italy Result, Saturday 11 October 2025, World Cup Qualifiers
An important victory for Italy as they aim for qualification in the 2026 World Cup. Italy defeated Estonia on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at the A. Le Coq Arena in Tallinn, Estonia. Gattuso’s national team was in control throughout the match. The decisive goals came from Moise Kean, Mateo Retegui, and Francesco Pio Esposito.
Fantastic win for Italy, clinching second place with 12 points. Israel suffered a defeat to Estonia, losing 5 – 0 and staying at 9 points.
The national team is set to take the field against Israel on Tuesday, October 14, at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine. This match is crucial for securing second place in Group I and gaining access to the playoffs in March. A win would give the Azzurri a six-point advantage over Israel, with one game still to play.
Italy has secured victories in all three of its recent World Cup qualifiers, and it hasn’t achieved four consecutive wins in such matches since October 2016 and June 2017 (four wins under Giampiero Ventura). Therefore, the goal is clear: Just go and win.
✅ Here are the Standings (AFTER THE GAME).
Norway 18 points (6 games played), Italy 12 (5), Israel 9 (6), Estonia 3 (6), Moldova 0 (5)
The game …
🇪🇪 Estonia 0 – 1 Italy 🇮🇹
Great beginning for the Azzurri! In the 4th minute, Italy takes the lead. Moise Kean netted a goal with a right-footed shot from the left side of the box into the bottom right corner. He was assisted by Federico Dimarco. The Fiorentina forward breaks the deadlock and gives Italy a 1-0 advantage: Dimarco passes from the left to Kean, who skillfully dribbles past Kuusk with a feint and strikes with a left-footed shot that finds the back of the net. That’s it, go Italy!
What a stroke of luck! Italy missed an opportunity to extend their lead in the 30th minute. Mateo Retegui was unable to score from the penalty spot as his right-footed shot was saved in the bottom right corner by goalkeeper Karl Hein. The penalty was awarded after Märten Kuusk fouled Retegui in the penalty area.
A moment of redemption for Mateo Retegui as he scores a goal in the 38th minute after missing a previous penalty. Retegui found the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the center. The assist came from Riccardo Orsolini.
Bologna midfielder Riccardo Orsolini delivered an impressive performance, assisting Mateo Retegui’s goal, which puts Italy ahead 2-0 against Estonia.
🇪🇪 Estonia 0 – 3 Italy 🇮🇹
Italy is really on fire! In the 74th minute, Francesco Pio Esposito found the net with a right-footed shot into the bottom right corner. Barella started the play by passing to Spinazzola, who assisted Pio Esposito, allowing him to score with a first-time header, bringing the score to three. This was the first goal for Italy by the player born in 2005.
In the 76th minute, Estonia closed the gap. Rauno Sappinen found the net from a short distance with a right-footed shot to the center, beating Italy’s goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. This was a consolation goal for Estonia, as Sappinen made the score 3-1 due to a poor save by Gigio. He couldn’t secure the ball, allowing it to bounce and inadvertently giving it to the attacker.
Giacomo Raspadori and Moise Kean have each found the net in their last three World Cup qualifying games. Only three players have managed to score in at least four consecutive World Cup qualifying matches for Italy: Luigi Riva (five goals, from 1968 to 1972), Roberto Bettega (four goals, from 1976 to 1977), and Filippo Inzaghi (four goals, from 2000 to 2001).
Mateo Retegui, who netted the latest of his two braces for Italy against Estonia, has also contributed four assists in World Cup qualifying matches, which is the highest tally among European strikers (Manor Solomon has also achieved four).
