CHRONICLE:

Italy starts immediately to a thousand also in Athens, as indeed it had already shown us in the first two games of the qualifying group to Euro 2020. The selection of Roberto Mancini plays well, is by heart and crushes Greece in his half the pitch, leaving only a few counter-attacks to the hosts. The first goal arrives early, at 23 ′, and Barella marks it with a simple shot from inside the penalty area, after a technical and speed action by Andrea Belotti. Barella opens the gap and the national team finds both the second and the third goal very close: at 30 ‘Insigne performs his classic right-footed shot at the second post; three minutes after a perfect pattern on the free kick in the Bonucci area, which still beats Barkas. Italy overtakes Greece after 45 minutes and goes beyond the most optimistic expectations.

The second half is simple administration or almost for the national team. Sirigu saves the 68 ‘on a blow from the limit of Fortounis, confirming the excellent moment of form. De Sciglio, Pellegrini and Bernardeschi enter from the bench for Italy. They do not affect that much, in a phase of game with slower rhythms. The Azzurri are limited to so much possession, they waste a great opportunity with Federico Chiesa, but they bring home a fundamental victory, in a trip not as easy as this in Athens.
