Italy beats Hungary 2-1 to top Group 3

The Italian squad won against Hungary 2-1 in a UEFA Nations League match at The Stadio Dino Manuzzi in Cesena FC, Italy, on June 8.

Nicolò Barella opened the scoring for Italy with a shot into the top corner of the net from the edge of the penalty box after receiving a pass from Leonardo Spinazzola. In the last minute of the first half, Lorenzo Pellegrini doubled the lead for Italy with a low-level shot past the Hungarian goalkeeper, Denes Dibusz after receiving a well-placed pass from Matteo Politano. Hungary managed to narrow the lead to 2-1 in the second half with thanks to an own goal by Italian defender Gianluca Mancini.

After the win, Italy moved to the top spot on the League A Group 3 charts with four points from two matches.

Manager of Italy, Roberto Mancini, said, "It was a good match in the first half, but their goal put us in a tough place. We should have won by a much higher margin. We were also a bit tired, it is normal. To concede a goal in a match that should have already been finished off is difficult. We are a young side who will have to work hard. Our start has been good."
