Italy secured a 3-1 away victory against Estonia on Saturday. Despite this positive result, the Azzurri are widely expected to navigate through a playoff phase to secure their qualification for the 2026 World Cup. This article compiles some of the most notable social media reactions that emerged following last night’s match.
The win in Estonia brought encouraging news for the Italian national team, particularly in the attacking department. Moise Kean, Mateo Retegui, and Francesco Pio Esposito each successfully scored, demonstrating significant offensive contributions in what was Gennaro Gattuso`s third game as head coach.
While Esposito netted his inaugural senior international goal, Moise Kean unfortunately sustained an ankle injury. This puts his participation in Tuesday’s upcoming fixture against Israel in serious doubt.
Italy currently sits six points adrift of Group I leaders Norway. Despite having a game in hand, the substantial advantage in goal difference held by Erling Haaland’s Norwegian side makes it increasingly improbable for Gattuso’s men to finish at the top of their group directly.
Adding to the challenge for Italy, Norway registered a commanding 5-0 victory over Israel yesterday. This result further diminished the Azzurri’s chances of overtaking Norway in the group standings and securing direct qualification.
Below, we present a collection of key reactions from fans and various media outlets regarding Italy’s recent triumph against Estonia. For detailed insights into individual player performances, comprehensive match ratings are typically also analyzed.
