Oct 15 2023

In a Euro 2024 European Championship qualifier, Italy triumphed 4-0 against Malta.

Despite an intimidating atmosphere in Bari’s San Nicola stadium, Malta displayed some promising play. However, missing key players like Teddy Teuma and Jodi Jones, Malta couldn’t field their best team.

Ferdinando Apap made his season debut for Malta, but Italy dominated, with Giacomo Bonaventura’s strike putting them ahead.

Italy doubled their lead with Domenico Berardi’s goal just before halftime. Despite Malta’s resilience, Italy added a third through Berardi.

Substitute Davide Frattesi sealed the 4-0 victory deep into stoppage time.

Italy now trails England by three points in the group, with Ukraine also in the chase.

Malta faces Ukraine next.
