In Genoa on Wednesday evening, a friendly match between the national teams of Italy and Ukraine was played.
Roberto Mancini's players continued their streak of victories and parted ways with Ukraine with a draw - 1:1. In the 55th minute, Federico Bernardeschi put Italy ahead, but seven minutes later the Ukrainians equalized.
The match was dominated by attacking football - the Italians made a total of 20 shots, seven of which were on target. Ukraine also did not stay defensive - they had 12 shots towards the opponents' goal.
This draw will not boost Italy's confidence - they have failed to win their fifth consecutive match. This year, the Italians also failed to overcome Poland and the Netherlands, and against France and Portugal they received defeats.
Result:
Italy 1 - 1 Ukraine 55' [1 - 0] F. Bernardeschi 62' [1 - 1] R. Malinovskyi
