The last time the Lithuanians suffered a similar knockout in 2019 – this time they also took a trip to the then Portuguese European champions, who lost 0: 6.
Despite Roberto Mancini releasing an experimental lineup on Wednesday, the hosts took advantage of almost all of Lithuania’s mistakes in the first half.
After 10 minutes of intelligence, a real goal storm broke out.
Before the break, Moise Kean scored twice, Ernesto Šetkus stole the goal twice and Giacomo Raspadori made his debut in the Squadra Azzurra starting eleven; it is true that one of his goals was for Edgar Utku, from whom the rebound rebounded.
The teams went into halftime against Giovanni Di Lorenzo, but Gaetano Castrovilli made a spectacular save.
After playing for over an hour, the Italians finally got tired and slowed down, but only at the end of the match did they allow the Lithuanians to cross the center line with the ball.
According to official statistics, the Apennines hit a total of 20 (5 in the goal area), and the guests responded with 5 attempts (1).
Italai had had control of the ball 68 percent of the time. time and passed three times more precise (657 and 215, respectively), although the Lithuanians took more corners (3 and 2, respectively).
It was the first victory for the “blues” after the triumph in the European Championship: last week, the Italians settled for two draws in the selection of the championships of the planet, which seem to have captured the ambitions of the champions.
At that time, Valdas Ivanauskas’ long-distance debut as coach of the Lithuanian team turned into three losses a week.
Artemis Tutyškinkas alone will probably not be in a hurry to forget his stay in Emilia-Romagna: 82 min. The 18-year-old defender on the turf became the debut for the youngest national team in history.

The referee’s final whistle records the Lithuanian team’s worst defeat in the last two years – 0: 5. Https://www.facebook.com/LTUfutbolas/posts/3991515887619200
84 min. after a shot by Gaetano Castrovilli, the ball shook the Lithuanian goal.
82 min. The 18-year-old defender Artemijus Tutyškinkas stepped onto the pitch and became the youngest rookie in the history of the Lithuanian national team.
The Italian team already seems a bit full from five accurate shots and a slowdown, but it no longer leaves guests off their side of the court.
72 min. The invisible E. Dubickas was replaced by K. Uzėla.
The Italians, who have already replaced four players, continue to increase the opponents’ penalty area, without giving E. Šetkas a second to breathe.
A pass to the side displaced the defense, allowing G. Di Lorenzo to slip away to score the goal. https://twitter.com/Azzurri/status/1435693952842313733
54 min. Objective no. 5!
53 minutes the ball entered E. Šetkus’s goal net for the fifth time. However, G. Raspadori failed to connect with him, as his teammates expected, and the ball went out.
For his part, Mancini allowed himself to make an atypical change and put goalkeeper G. Donnarumma on the bench, releasing Sirigu.
Before the start of the second half, T. Ražanauskas made three changes: B. Šatkus, D. Barauskas and L. Mėgelaitis were released onto the field. The performance was completed by E. Utkus, V. Slavickas and M. Dapkus.
The nightmare of the Lithuanian team is over. Italy had another good chance, but had already done enough to be able to read the newspapers in the locker room during the break.
Probably not to say which door. M. Kean, who escaped from the defenders after the transfer of F. Bernardeschi, scored his second goal. Italy beat their opponents 4: 0.
29 min. Objective …
After a serious mistake by J. Lasickas, the gift was unpacked and this time G. Raspadori really distinguished himself. Italy is already crushing the guests 3: 0.
24 min. Objective !!!
Italian team newcomer G. Raspadori tried his luck striking from behind the penalty area, the ball bounced off E. Utkas and flew towards the Lithuanian goal with a rebound. It was the Lithuanian national team defender who scored the own goal. Italy leads 2-0. https://twitter.com/Azzurri/status/1435679285545775104
14 min. Objective!
M. Keanas broke into Lithuania’s penalty area too easily and disarmed E. Šetkus. Italy is already 1-0 ahead. https://twitter.com/Azzurri/status/1435678546274496514
11 min. Objective!
9 min. G. Donnarum was forced to work for O. Verbick, who got angry a second time.
In the first 10 min. The European champions were in no rush and watched the opponents’ positions from a respectable distance.
The Lithuanians seem very busy and are trying to control the ball in midfield.
Already in the first attack, the guests won a standard situation, which ended in a rather threatening shot by O. Verbickas from the penalty area.
The match in Emilia Reggio has started. https://twitter.com/Azzurri/status/1435675598941310984
Four faces have changed in the Lithuanian national team since Sunday. V. Slavickas and O. Verbickas returned to the starting line-up, and for the first time L. Klimavičius and M. Dapkus jump into the fray in this “window” of the selection competition.
One of the leaders, F. Černychas, as well as D. Šimkus, cannot help the Lithuanians due to the two warnings collected.
Compared to the last game, R. Mancini has made up to eight changes to his starting lineup, and 21-year-old Sassuolo striker Giacomo Raspadori will make his national team debut.

The match in Italy was judged by the Englishman Craig Pawson.
The Lithuanian team could not yet be led by strategist V. Ivanauskas, who was infected with the coronavirus, and was replaced by assistant Tomas Ražanauskas.
The new headquarters of the Lithuanian coaches had previously debuted with two defeats: last week in Vilnius 1: 4 was not equal to Northern Ireland, and in Bulgaria the failure was 0: 1.
At the time, Italy set a world record for the longest series without losses last week.
Mancini’s pupils played 1: 1 with Bulgaria at home last week and broke with Switzerland scoreless.
The Italians lead the group in the qualifying group in Group C, scoring 14 points in six rounds. The Lithuanian outsider account after five games is still empty.
In the first mutual showdown in Vilnius last March, the hosts resisted with more respect and capitulated with the score 0: 2. At the time, the team was still led by Valdas Urbonas.
The students of V. Ivanauskas will play the next game a month later: October 9. will accept Bulgarians at home and on October 12. – There are Swiss.
