Result Moldova – Italy, Thursday, 13 November 2025, World Cup Qualifiers

   Moldova 0 – 2 Italy 

.                                                         88′ Gianluca Mancini
.                                                         92′ Francesco Pio Esposito

Italy faces challenges in securing an away victory against Moldova during the second-to-last matchday of the qualifying group. The match on Thursday, 13 November 2025, at the Stadionul Zimbru in Chișinău, positions Italy on the path to the playoffs. In Group I, Norway, with 21 points, is nearly assured a spot in the World Cup following its victory over Estonia.

The Italian national team retains possession but struggles to penetrate a highly organized and compact defense. The match lacks excitement until the 88th minute, and just as it appears to be heading towards a 0-0 stalemate, BOOM! Gianluca Mancini scores the first goal with a twisting header from a cross delivered by Federico Dimarco. The Azzurri finally find their rhythm, and in stoppage time, specifically in the 92nd minute, Francesco Pio Esposito heads in a splendid cross from Politano, bringing the score to 2-0.

Gennaro Gattuso became the third coach in Italy’s history to win his first five matches in charge of the Azzurri, following in the footsteps of Edmondo Fabbri from 1962 to 1963 and Azeglio Vicini from 1986 to 1987.

How are things working out for the Italian team?

Italy has recorded six consecutive wins, securing a play-off spot with one game to spare.

Group I Standings: Norway, 21 points (seven games played), ITALY, 18 points (seven), Israel, nine points (seven), Estonia, four points (eight), Moldova, one point (seven).

✅   STATS WITH MOLDOVA.

Statistics reveal that Italy has achieved six victories in six matches against Moldova. The last encounter on June 9 in Reggio Emilia ended with a 2-0 win, courtesy of goals from Cambiaso and Raspadori. Italy has faced Norway 18 times, securing ten wins, four draws, and four losses, which includes a 3-0 loss on June 6 in Oslo during the Azzurri’s first match of the qualifying group.

At last! Italy secured the victory in the 88th minute. Fans promptly celebrated the goal scored by Gianluca Mancini, who directed a header into the net from an impeccable assist by Federico Dimarco. Mancini outmaneuvered Moldova’s goalkeeper Andrii Kozhukhar, placing the ball into the bottom left corner.

We are in high spirits. Italy awoke just in the final moments of the match. In the 92nd second, a remarkable play by Matteo Politano occurred, as he maneuvered onto his left foot and delivered a cross for Francesco Pio Esposito, who headed the ball into the top left corner, surpassing goalkeeper Kozhukhar. This was an outstanding goal, with Esposito bringing joy to the fans by securing the victory with this late goal, resulting in a score of 0-2.

That is it! Francesco Pio Esposito leaps high enough to execute the headed shot that secures the victory!

👉Goal-chasing in Moldova (20:45)
Italy World Cup test

👉Already in the semifinals in Turin
Bum boom boom Sinner already in the semifinals

He also beat Zverev in straight sets and finished first in the group.
“I served very well.”
The Turin crowd was ecstatic.”

👉Goal-chasing in Moldova (20:45)
Italy testing the World Cup

Gattuso will be all-out attacking with Raspadori and Scamacca. Norway will play Estonia in Oslo at 6 PM: if they don’t stumble, we’ll be playing with the playoffs in mind.

👉Napoli without peace
Conte on pause

After the tensions, he returns only on Monday and loses Anguissa.

👉Focus
More balance, more spectators
Record-breaking stadiums in Serie A
Never have there been so many fans in the last 30 years.

👉Italy in Moldova: the hope is that Norway will unblock
We’re all Estonians

Gattuso is looking for his fifth consecutive victory: Scamacca and Raspadori in attack. Orsolini and Zaccagni on the wings. Vicario in goal. The match starts at 20:45. Estonia’s result against Haaland (18) will be decisive: we can avoid the playoffs.

👉New Energy
Permission agreed with the club: he’s tired
Conte stops and goes
Rests until Sunday. He returns to Naples on Monday.

Yesterday’s training session was led by Stellini, but there’s no problem: it was all planned. Anxiety surrounds Anguissa, with fears of a muscle injury.

👉Hunt for Sommer’s heir
Suzuki, Inter in action

The Swiss’s contract is expiring.
Caprile and Atubolu are also being monitored.

👉Roma: first place and stadium
Gasperini: “Free to dream”

“The project is wonderful: this club is eager to invest.”

👉Sinner Out of this World
Finals: Jannik defeats Zverev (6-4, 6-3) and advances to the semifinals. Today, Musetti faces Alcaraz (20:30).

Today’s Front Page Tutto Sport, Thursday 13 November 2025

👉DV9 freezes Bayern: willing to wait for signals from Comolli.
Vlahovic, Juve’s priority

The agreement with Chiellini, revealed by the CEO, has been confirmed: a renewal will be discussed at the end of the season. However, the club is asking him to take a pay cut. A trip to the Spalletti-Lab. Impresa Women: 2-1 against Atletico.

👉World Cup Qualifiers – Italy in Moldova (20:45) dreaming of a miracle.
Brothers of Estonia…

On the pitch in Chisinau, knowing the result from Oslo: if they beat the Baltics (18:00), Norway will qualify for the World Cup, and we will be in the playoffs. Gattuso doesn’t think twice: “Be careful, we’re not facing runaways.”

👉Zverev also defeated in straight sets: he’s already in the semifinals.
Sinner’s finesse and finesse, ole

First to qualify, Jannik gives the German no chance for the fifth time in a row and receives an extra ovation from the fans: “Maybe Musetti entertained you more…” Tonight Lorenzo challenges Alcaraz to dream of the derby: but he could then say no to the Davis Cup. Turin and Jannik are stronger than the poison.

👉The coach is on leave in Turin until Monday.
Napoli restarts without Conte, and Lang is firing.

The club: “A decision agreed upon long ago.” But his absence is causing controversy. Koeman, the Netherlands coach: “Noa told me he hasn’t seen a ball in 28 days of training camp.”

👉Torino: the Juve Stabia center-back is also in the mix.
Giorgini, the Italian way to defend

He’s the alternative to Kapuadi for January. If Masina leaves, the first attempt this season to re-enter negotiations with Ramirez, a talent discovered at the Under-20 World Cup.

👉Garritano, (1955-2025)
Goodbye Salvatore, third twin of the Torino champion.”
