Follow usUkraine and Italy finished 0-0 at BayArena in Leverkusen, and Italy advanced to the European championship next year in Germany after finishing 2nd with 14 points. Italians must thank the referee who refused to give a clear penalty against Mykhailo Mudryk in the 92nd minute.
Italy played better in the 1st half but failed to score. The Italians had 10 goal attempts, 2 shots on target, and 1.29 xG, but the fans saw no goals after the 1st 45 minutes of the crucial match for both nations.

In the 2nd half, both nations played poorly and didn’t take any risks, making the clash very hard to watch. The most interesting moment in the match came in the extra time when Mykhailo Mudryk went down after a collision with an Italian defender, but the referee refused to give a penalty, and VAR didn’t send him to rewatch the situation.
Wowww Ukraine should’ve had a 93rd minute penalty to qualify for Euro 2024 at Italy’s expense
How is this not given? Stonewall 😬
