Italy Crush Greece to Stay Perfect in Euro Qualifiers

By Daily Sports on June 9, 2019

Italy crushed Greece 3-0 to notch up their third win in as many games and pull three points clear at the top of their Euro 2020 qualifying group in Athens on Saturday.

The four-time world champions have put the failure to qualify for last year's World Cup behind them, and have now been transformed under new coach Roberto Mancini.

Nicolo Barella opened the scoring after 23 minutes with Lorenzo Insigne and Leonardo Bonucci adding two more in a 10-minute blitz which followed.

Mancini’s side have now scored a total of 11 goals and none conceded in their three Group J qualifiers against Greece, Finland and Liechtenstein.

The Italians next play Bosnia-Herzegovina, who fell 2-0 to Finland, in Turin on Tuesday, while Greece play Armenia, who beat Liechtenstein 3-0.

“No, it wasn’t my best Italy,” said Mancini, who took over in May 2018.

“For example, in the second half we had to score more goals. This needs to be improved.

“After a year of work, we are ahead of schedule, we improve match after match, but there is still a lot of work to do.”

Italy have nine points, with Finland second with six points, followed by Greece and Bosnia-Herzegovina on four. (SuperSport)
