Italy beat Hungary 2-1 and climbed to the top of the Nations League group , thanks to the concomitant draw (1-1) between Germany and England.

A completely renewed national team compared to the one that disappointed in the last qualifying matches for the World Cup, lost the match against North Macedonia and was dominated by Argentina.

Barella and Pellegrini scored to win a difficult match, against a team that has recently defeated England.

Viktor Orban is also on the stands in Cesena. To pave the way to success is Nicolò Barella , now among the leaders of the group: he receives from Spinazzola, settles the ball to the limit and throws it under the intersection thanks to a slight deviation. We are at half an hour, and at the end of the first half Pellegrini takes advantage of an assist from Politano and an indecision of the Hungarian defense for the doubling.

The Azzurri went close to the third goal several times, also hitting a crossbar with Politano, and did not let themselves be scratched by Mancini's own goal who sent a low cross from Fiola into his own goal. It ends 2-1, Italy is first with 4 points, followed by Hungary with 3, Germany with 2 and England with 1. And on Saturday there is the challenge with the English , a re-edition of the European final.
