Switzerland vs Italy: Italians held by Swiss in World Cup qualifier - Punch Newspapers

Italy extended their unbeaten run to a record 36 matches in Sunday’s goalless World Cup qualifier in Switzerland which kept them atop Group C on the road to the 2022 finals in Qatar.

Roberto Mancini’s European champions had drawn level with Spain and Brazil’s mark of 35 in Thursday’s 1-1 draw with Bulgaria. Italy, whose remarkable run began with a 1-0 defeat of Portugal in September 2018, retain control of Group C on 11 points from five matches.Another share of the points looked an unlikely outcome early in the second half when Chelsea’s Jorginho stepped up to take a penalty.

Unable to find a way past the solid home defence, Italy thought their moment had come when VAR confirmed the on-pitch decision to award a spot-kick after a foul by Ricardo Rodriguez on Domenico Berardi.
