After goals from Oliviero and Piemonte in the first half, the hosts come back within three minutes of the second half: it ends 2-2. Soncin does not dispel the Scandinavian taboo
Soncin made the right choices from the first minute, Gustavsson made the changes in the second half. But at the end of the 90 minutes in Gothenburg between Italy and Sweden (it ends 2-2) only one important verdict comes out: the Italians’ qualification for the 2027 World Cup will go through the playoffs. The group ended with Girelli and her teammates in second place, behind Denmark who didn’t give up an inch and yesterday – when Italy let the Scandinavians come back from behind by two goals in the second half – they also beat Serbia with a resounding 4-1 which however, even if Italy had won, would not have been enough for our team to obtain a direct pass to the World Cup which will be played in Brazil next year.
