Italy seal qualification for Euro 2020

Italy secured their place at next year’s Euro 2020 finals by beating Greece 2-0 in Rome. After a goalless first half, Chelsea midfielder Jorginho opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Andreas Bouchalakis’ handball. Substitute Federico Bernardeschi added a late second with a dipping effort from distance. The win means Italy top Group J with 21 points, an unassailable 11 points clear of third-placed Armenia. Greece needed to win to keep their own qualification hopes alive but they rarely threatened. Italy had been booed off at half-time after failing to manage a single shot on target but they were much improved after the break, with Jorginho’s opener visibly relaxing his team-mates. Source: BBC
