The Italy Under 21 team is preparing its qualifiers for the 2027 European Championships, with a double friendly test against Empoli and Spezia Primavera before the trip to Armenia.
The last test for Italy Under 21 at the Tirrenia meeting ended with a 10-0 win over Spezia Primavera. After the 15-0 in the first friendly against Empoli, the Azzurrini under Silvio Baldini once again scored a goal. The coach - who started with the canonical 4-3-3 choosing Mascardi in goal, with the pair of central defenders formed by Comuzzo and Chiarodia and with Cisse in front flanked on the outside by Liberali and Koleosho - was able to give space and minutes to everyone in the last friendly before leaving on Wednesday for Armenia, where the Azzurrini will face the locals of equal age on Thursday for the 2027 European Championship qualifiers.
Among Mr. Baldini's men, Koleosho stands out as he breaks the deadlock in the 4th minute with an angled shot that hits the long post. In the 9th minute Faticanti doubled their lead: a great first-time shot from 25 meters and the ball under seven. Two minutes pass and Ndour makes it 3-0 thanks to a ball recovered under pressure on the edge of the penalty area. In the 26th and 35th minutes, Liberali comes into the spotlight and scores two goals: the 4-0 comes from a serpentine that leaves the La Spezia defense in place, the fifth goal is a great curling shot that goes into the long post.
In the second half Baldini changes by introducing those who had remained on the bench in the first 45'. In the 52nd minute Bartesaghi scored with a shot that deceived the goalkeeper at the near post, then after long minutes of attempts, goals came in a series from Lipani (70'), Fini (71'), Cherubini (75') and Moruzzi (87') which ended the contest at 10-0.
