On June 9, 2025, at the Stadio Città del Tricolore in Reggio Emilia, Italy earned a 2–0 victory over Moldova in what marked Luciano Spalletti’s final match as head coach. Though the scoreline delivered the farewell win he hoped for, the performance left much to be desired from the Azzurri.
Italy started cautiously, struggling to break down a compact Moldovan defense. Moldova nearly stunned the home crowd early on when Ion Nicolaescu found the net—only to be ruled offside. Gianluigi Donnarumma was called into action more than once, notably parrying a long-range effort from Oleg Reabciuk.
Just before halftime, Italy finally broke through. Giacomo Raspadori capitalized on a loose ball from a corner, drilling it into the bottom corner to put Italy ahead. Early in the second half, Andrea Cambiaso doubled the lead with a well-timed finish after a clever setup involving Riccardo Orsolini and Davide Frattesi.
Despite the lead, Italy’s control was far from convincing. Moldova continued to threaten on the counter, forcing late saves and defensive interventions. Still, Italy held on for the clean sheet and three points, securing third place in Group I behind Norway and Israel.
The win was a quiet send-off for Spalletti—mission accomplished, but with more questions than answers. As Italy now looks ahead to new leadership, the performance underscored the urgent need for tactical clarity and attacking sharpness in their World Cup qualifying campaign.
