"Their poor start was compounded as Manuel Locatelli slid in and bundled Dan Biton's low cross into Italy's empty net 16 minutes in. He almost got his redemption shortly after, smashing a stunning volley off the top of the bar, but Moise Kean ensured Italy were on level terms at the break, curling a low finish past Daniel Peretz in the 40th minute."
"Mateo Retegui, who got a hat-trick of assists for Italy, then flicked on a long throw-in to tee up the stretching Matteo Politano 58 minutes in, and his goal flipped the script. Israel kept pushing, though, as Locatelli denied Tai Baribo on the line before Donnarumma smothered Ron Revivo's follow-up, but Italy found their fourth goal in the 81st minute through Giacomo Raspadori, who poked home after a lovely team move."
Italy recovered from an early setback to beat Israel 5-4 thanks to Sandro Tonali's stoppage-time winner. Manuel Locatelli put the ball into his own net, but Moise Kean equalised before half-time. In the second half Dor Peretz restored Israel's lead, Kean levelled again, and Matteo Politano put Italy ahead after a Mateo Retegui assist. Giacomo Raspadori made it 4-3, Dor Peretz levelled late, and Tonali's low cross in added time secured the victory. The result maintained Gennaro Gattuso's perfect start as Italy manager.
