Italy – North Macedonia 0-1: Azzurri out of the World Cup

PALERMO – Italy defeated 0-1 by North Macedonia in the playoff semifinal for access to the 2022 World Cup: the Azzurri therefore remain sensationally out of the top international competition for the second consecutive edition. Mancini’s team dominated for over 90 ‘, wasting a lot. And it was punished in the 92nd minute by a great goal from Trajkovski. The Macedonians will now play for a place in Qatar in the final against Portugal who defeated Turkey 3-1 in the other semifinal.
