Goals by forward Mateo Retegui and midfielder Matteo Pessina steered Italy to a 2-0 win over Malta in their Euro 2024 qualification Group C clash at Sunday.
loss"These are games where you have everything to lose and they tend to be ugly. We did some things well, others less so, the important thing was to win," Italy coach Roberto Mancini told RAI Sport.The hosts started the match very defensively, forcing Italy to build up play slowly from the midfield and look for openings.
However, Italy opened the scoring in the 15th minute when Retegui broke free from his marker to power in a header from a corner with Pessina doubling the lead after 27 minutes when he tapped Emerson's cross in from a short distance.
