Italy rediscovered its old form and celebrated an impressive victory in Turkey!

Just a few days after its home loss to Belgium, the “Squadra Azzurra” put on a dominant display, scoring three goals before the half-hour mark in Bursa, they ultimately secured a resounding 4-1 victory, earning their first points in Group 1 of the Nations League’s top tier!

France, with Olise breaking the deadlock against Belgium and scoring the winning goal in the 88th minute of the match, escaped from Brussels and maintained its perfect record after the conclusion of the second matchday of League A in the Nations League!

In the second tier of the Nations League, Sweden defeated Poland 3-1 in Stockholm, thanks to goals by Nigrén (8’), Ajari (63’), and Gökers (72’), bringing their record to 2-0 in Group 4 and leaving Bosnia in second place, which defeated Romania 4-2 behind closed doors “Arena Nationala” in Bucharest, with Olympiacos’s Smailović remaining on the bench. For Romania, AEK’s Marin did not play as he was not called up.
