Relive the decisive moments from Italy’s 2-0 triumph over Northern Ireland in the World Cup play-off semifinal, featuring impressive goals from Sandro Tonali and Moise Kean.
Sandro Tonali and Moise Kean each found the net in the second half, paving the way for Italy’s comfortable 2-0 win against Northern Ireland during their match in Bergamo on Thursday night.
The Newcastle United midfielder broke the deadlock in the 56th minute with a powerful shot from the edge of the box. Later, in the 80th minute, Tonali turned provider, assisting Kean for the Azzurri’s second goal.
Kean, the Fiorentina forward, then expertly controlled the ball inside the box and finished with precision at the far post, sealing the victory for his team.
Italy has now progressed to the World Cup play-off final, where they are set to face either Wales or Bosnia and Herzegovina next Tuesday.
