Scamacca opened the scoring for Italy in the 15th minute. However, midfielder Jude Bellingham's brilliance helped England make a dramatic comeback to win 3-1 when he contributed to two goals. Captain Harry Kane also contributed greatly with an equalizer in the 32nd minute from the penalty spot, and the winning goal in the 77th minute.
Jude Bellingham helps England fly high
The Italian national team is in a psychological crisis with two stars Sandro Tonali and Nicolo Fagioli being suspected of illegal betting and gambling. However, under the leadership of coach Luciano Spalletti, the Italian players are still playing with great effort to find a chance to win tickets to the EURO 2024 finals.
However, after Scamacca's opener, they could not maintain control of the game against an England side that has been playing better and better with the maturity of midfielder Jude Bellingham since joining Real Madrid.
It was Jude Bellingham who won the penalty in the 32nd minute that Harry Kane converted to equalize for England at 1-1. At the beginning of the second half, the Real Madrid midfielder, who is leading the La Liga top scorer, continued to assist Rashford to score, making the score 2-1.

In the 77th minute, Harry Kane scored the second goal of the match to seal a 3-1 victory for England. This victory helped the "Three Lions" officially secure a ticket in Group C to the EURO 2024 finals, with 16 points after 6 unbeaten matches (5 wins, 1 draw).
Italy dropped to third place with 10 points, three points behind Ukraine, but with one game in hand. Italy still has a chance to qualify directly for the EURO 2024 finals if they win their remaining two matches against North Macedonia and against direct rival Ukraine in November.
