Italy continues to win and also beats Lithuania, taking the third win out of three in this adventure start to the qualifying rounds for the 2022 World Championship. Mancini accumulates 25 consecutive useful results, thus equaling the record of Marcello Lippi. In this away game, the coach is forced to shuffle the cards a bit but the results of the first half are not very encouraging. The first forty-five minutes ended without a goal and the Azzurri seem to have difficulty producing play and creating chances. The pitch is not in the best condition and the only dangers are created with personal conclusions, like that of Emerson, promptly neutralized by Svedkauskas. To report, in negative, the test of El Shaarawy that from two steps devours the goal in the advantage. In the interval, Mancini switches to Pellegrini and the pharaoh, inserting Sensi and Chiesa. The music seems to change immediately and it is the Nerazzurri midfielder who finds the goal from the advantage with a shot from outside the area that leaves no chance for the Lithuanian goalkeeper. Italy accelerates and begins to create several opportunities, in particular with Immobile always encountering the Svedkauskas obstacle or failing to hit the goal mirror. Italy, in its most beautiful form, also runs the risk of being insulted, were it not for Donnarumma, author of a beautiful speech on the conclusion of Eliosius. The revolutions of the blue engine are lowered although the opportunities continue to arrive and in the middle there is also room for an unfair warning to Locatelli that will cost the next game before the midfielder’s warning. In injury time, when everything seems to lead to bitter success due to wasted opportunities, Kazlauskas thinks well of taking Barella down in the area. Immobile appears from the spot and finally manages to win his personal challenge with Svedkauskas, guessing the correct angle.
