UEFA Nations League - 2-0 victory over Hungary and Italy to advance to the semi-finals


In the 2022/23 season, the A3 group of the UEFA Nations League had a focus game. After the away game, the "Zezzi" Italy defeated Hungary 2-0 with the goals contributed by Laspadori and DiMarco, and successfully won the match. The first place in the group standings will get a ticket to the semi-finals.


In the 27th minute of the game, Naguy made a mistake in the return pass. Hungarian goalkeeper Gulaci stubbornly blocked Gnoto's shot, and then Laspadori seized the opportunity to make up the empty goal and help Italy to 1 0 ahead of Hungary.


In the 52nd minute of the second half, Cristante made a cross, and DiMarco scored the ball from close range to help Italy expand their lead 2-0. In the end, Italy successfully set the score at 2-0 and successfully qualified for the semi-finals.


It is worth mentioning that DiMarco, the new international who made great achievements in this campaign, is also his sixth time representing Italy and finally scored the first goal of his national team career. In addition, after the 24-year-old DiMarco contributed a goal, it was also the 1500th goal in the history of the Italian team.


In an interview after the game, DiMarco said that he was very satisfied with his first goal in his national team career, but the most important thing was the team's victory, and he was very happy that Italy could advance to the UEFA Nations League semi-finals.
