Sandro Tonali sends Italy into the Nations League quarter-finals with a crucial goal in their 1-0 win over Belgium on Thursday, securing their spot in the last eight.
The Newcastle United midfielder, making his comeback after a gambling ban, netted his first international goal just 10 minutes into the match at the King Baudouin Stadium.
Tonali’s 10-month suspension, handed down in October 2023 for betting on football matches, had sidelined him from Italy’s disappointing Euro 2024 campaign.
However, his goal in Brussels marked a strong return for the 24-year-old.
The victory over Belgium, combined with their three-point lead over France in Group A2, puts Italy in contention for first place as they face Les Bleus at the San Siro on Sunday.
Italy remain unbeaten since their Euro 2024 exit, with a 1-1 draw against Belgium last month serving as their only setback in this Nations League campaign.
Belgium, who were denied an equalizer by Italy’s solid defense and goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, now cannot reach the quarter-finals, trailing France by six points with one game to go.
Romelu Lukaku had a chance to equalize late on but missed from close range, and Wout Faes’ header was kept out by the post.
