ITALY LEADS TABLE WITH VICTORY, 4 INTERISTI INVOLVED

Luciano Spalletti's Italy side fielded four Nerazzurri from the first minute: 90 minutes for Alessandro Bastoni and Davide Frattesi, 79 minutes for Nicolò Barella, 68 minutes for Federico Dimarco.

The success qualifies Italy for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Nations League: France's simultaneous draw with Israel means that the Azzurri are at the top of the table with 13 points, ahead of France, who have 10. A draw will be enough for Italy on Sunday (at San Siro against France), to end the round in first place.

TAREMI, THREE ASSISTS AGAINST NORTH KOREA

The match between North Korea and Iran, played at the New Laos National Stadium in Vientane, Laos, was full of emotions. In the World Cup qualifying match, Mehdi Taremi's Iran won 3-2, thus continues to lead Group A with 13 points after five matches.

The Inter Milan centre forward, captain of the national team, played 81 minutes before being substituted. He had a hand in all three of Iran's goals, with no less than three assists. In the second half, however, Taremi was unlucky, with an own goal and a missed penalty kick. Nevertheless, it was a quality performance for the striker.
