The Italian national team in the control sparring with Ukraine repeated the anti-achievement that has been held since 1925.

Team Roberto Mancini does not know the taste of victories in home battles for the past five meetings.

Such a disappointing series for "Squadra Azzurra" was still in the period from March 1923 to January 1925. Before the game with the "blue-yellow" Italians could not cope with Poland (1: 1), the Netherlands (1: 1), Sweden (0: 0) and Macedonia (1: 1) in their native walls.

The last time the Italian team managed to beat an opponent in his field on September 5, 2017. Then they overcame Israel as part of the qualifying round for the 2018 World Cup (1-0).

It is also interesting that in the last ten matches Italy only once celebrated a victory over an opponent. Moreover, “Squadra Azzurra” cannot leave its gates “on the lock” for eight consecutive bouts.. This happened for the first time since 1959..

Recall that the game between Italy and Ukraine ended in a draw with the score 1: 1. The Italian team will play its next match on October 14. As part of the 3rd round of the group stage of the League of Nations, the Mancini wards will meet away from Poland.
