The 1-0 triumph in Brussels eliminated the Belgians from the tournament
The Italian team, led by Luciano Spalletti, defeated Belgium (14) with the minimum score on Thursday and mathematically secured a place in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Nations League.
Playing in Brussels, the Azzurri scored the only goal of the match through Sandro Tonali, right at the start of the match, and managed their lead very well throughout the match.
The number 8 shirt of the Italian national team, which took advantage of a good play between Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Nicolò Barella, put an end to a 15-month drought without scoring goals. This was also the first time Tonali scored for his country.
It is worth noting that, in addition to Italy eliminating the Belgians, the Newcastle athlete recently served a 10-month suspension for participating in illegal betting in England.
The Azzurri reached 13 points, with four wins and a draw, and opened a three-point lead over France, who were not coming from scratch against Israel, bottom of the table.
Having qualified for the next phase, Spalletti’s men will conclude their participation in the group stage of the Nations League next Sunday (17), against the French. .
