Italy squeak past Moldova late to maintain slim qualification hopes
Posted on Nov 14, 2025 / Sports
The Italy national football team secured a 2-0 away victory against Moldova national football team on 13 November 2025, thanks to late goals from Gianluca Mancini and Francesco Pio Esposito. Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, Italy failed to strike until the 88th minute and stoppage time. The result lifts them to 18 points and keeps automatic qualification mathematically possible—but extremely unlikely due to goal-difference disadvantage to Norway national football team. Coach Gennaro Gattuso expressed relief but acknowledged that the road ahead is still steep. Italy will need a near-perfect final match and favourable results elsewhere to avoid the playoffs.
