🏆👉    Italy defeated Israel in the UEFA Nations League, League phase – League A – Group A2 game on Monday 14 October 2024 at the Blu Energy Stadium in Udine, Italy. Italy secured a convincing victory in their rematch against Israel, finishing with a score of 4-1. The goals came from Mateo Retegui (penalty), a brace by Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Davide Frattesi, and Abu Fani for Israel. With this win, Italy maintained their position at the top of Group 2 in League A of the Nations League, bringing their total points to 10. Meanwhile, Israel is still searching for their first points.

The game really took off at the end of the first half when Retegui scored a penalty kick, awarded after Tonali was fouled, sending the ball neatly under the right crossbar. As the second half began, the Azzurri doubled their lead with a powerful header from Di Lorenzo, who connected perfectly with a lateral free kick delivered by Raspadori. In the 66th minute, the visitors attempted to make a comeback when Abu Fani found the net directly from a corner kick. However, Spalletti’s squad quickly responded, sealing the match in the 72nd minute with a low cross from Dimarco that Frattesi finished off with a left-footed shot inside the box. Then, in the 79th minute, Di Lorenzo scored his first brace for the national team, converting a pass from Udogie with a precise right-footed shot into the bottom corner.

Italy has a strong record against Israel, remaining unbeaten in six encounters with five wins and one draw. They’ve outscored their opponents by a remarkable margin, netting 16 goals while conceding only 4. In the two matches held in Italy, the Azzurri triumphed with a combined score of 7-0.

Italy gained the advantage in the 41st minute when Mateo Retegui successfully converted a penalty defeated Israel goalkeeper Omri Glazer with a right-footed shot. The penalty was awarded following a foul by Dor Peretz on Sandro Tonali within the penalty area.

In the 54th minute, Italy extended their lead when Giovanni Di Lorenzo found the back of the net with a powerful header into the top right corner, thanks to an assist from Giacomo Raspadori.

Israel shortened the distance in the 66th minute. Mohamed Abu defeated Italy goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario from very close range with a right footed shot to the bottom right corner following a corner conceded by Alessandro Bastoni.

The moment everyone had been waiting for arrived in the 74th minute when the “third Maldini” took to the pitch for the Italian team. Daniel Maldini made his debut, coming on for Giacomo Raspadori. This is a significant milestone, as the Maldini family is now the first to have three generations—Cesare (grandfather), Paolo (father), and Daniel (son) —play for Italy. Such a wonderful celebration!


What a fantastic moment for Italy as Captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo finds the net again in the 79th minute! He delivered a precise right-footed shot into the bottom right corner, thanks to a great assist from Destiny Udogie.

✅ Stats before the game

Italy has never lost in the nine previous matches (W7 D2) played in Udine, conceding only two goals and collecting seven ‘clean sheets’ in the process; only in Florence have the Azzurri played more matches (30) in a single Italian city without recording a defeat.

Italy returns to play a match in Udine for the first time since March 23, 2019, against Finland: 2-0 victory for the Azzurri, in the EURO2020 qualifiers, thanks to goals from Nicolò Barella and Moise Kean.

After a 2-2 draw against Belgium, Italy could draw two games in a row for the first time since November 2021 (against Switzerland and Northern Ireland in that case).

UEFA Nations League Tickets

Italy are unbeaten in nine (W6 D3) of their last 10 matches played on Italian soil; the Azzurri’s only defeat in that period came against England on 23 March 2023.

Following losses against Belgium, Italy and France, Israel could lose four games in a row for the first time since October 2017 to September 2018.

Italy have conceded in each of their last seven matches; the last time the Azzurri recorded a longer streak of consecutive goals conceded was between March and October 2018 (eight in that case).

Israel have scored in eight of their last nine matches; the only match, in the period, in which the Azzurri’s next opponents did not find the net was against Hungary (0-3, in a friendly, last June 8).

The next one will be Gianluigi Donnarumma’s 70th match with Italy; if he takes the field against Israel, the 1999-born player will equal Alessandro Mazzola (70) in 23rd place among the Azzurri players with the most appearances.

Davide Frattesi is the player who has collected the most appearances (16) in Luciano Spalletti’s management with Italy; instead, the Azzurri outfield player with the highest number of minutes (1125′) is Giovanni Di Lorenzo.
