The Italian national team played a draw with the Swedes in the second leg of the 2018 World Cup play-off. The Italian national team failed to beat the Swedish team by playing a draw in the second leg of the 2018 qualifying playoff qualifier. The fight started quite actively, and the Italians seized the initiative from the first minutes of the game. However, the owners of the field did not have enough acuity on the final line of attacks. The first truly dangerous moment was the attack on the 27th minute of the meeting, when Antonio Kandreva took the ball into the opponent's penalty area, but broke above the gate. Some time later, his moment was missed by Ciro Immobile. The forward was at the gate of the Swedes, struck, but at the last moment the ball from the empty goal made the defender. In the second half of the meeting, almost nothing has changed. Wards Janne Andersson continued to defend, playing to take out, and "Squadron Adzurra" with the ends settled at the gate Robin Olsen. Closer to the end of the match in the Swedish team began to appear breaks between the lines of defense, but neither Ciro Immobile, nor Marco Parolo, nor Stefan El-Shaaravi, their moments could not realize.

Thus, in the coming summer, the Swedes will go to Russia, make a little sensation. And the Italian team, which probably played the last match Gianluigi Buffon, will not play at the World Cup for the first time in 60 years. Italy - Sweden 0: 0 (first match 0: 1) Italy:
