North Macedonia stopped Italy again as they became the Italian's black cat.

North Macedonia and Italy finished without a winner – 1-1 in Skopje in the debut of Luciano Spalletti at the helm of Italy.

The 1st half-finished without goals, as surprisingly or not, the home team had better chances to score as both nations had 4 goal attempts each and 1 shot on goal during the 1st 45 minutes.

The 2nd half started in the best way possible for Italy as Lazio’s striker, Ciro Immobile, headed the ball into the net after a rebound. Everything went smoothly till the 81st minute when North Macedonia tied the match.

Trabzonspor’s midfielder Enis Bardhi scored a fantastic goal from a freekick that gave Donnarumma no chance.

North Macedonia are in 4th place with 4 points after 4 matches, while Italy are in 3rd place with 4 points after 3 games.

North Macedonia will play at Malta on Tuesday, while Italy will host Ukraine at San Siro in a crucial match that can decide who will qualify for the Euro 2024.
