Player Ratings: Italy 3-0 Israel – Retegui and Donnarumma shine bright

Mateo Retegui’s brace and Gigio Donnarumma’s saves inspired Italy’s 3-0 win over Israel on Tuesday.

Donnarumma 8 – Two crucial saves, one in each half. Italy have the best keeper in the world, but should not need him this much to beat the 76th-ranked team in the FIFA ranking.

Di Lorenzo 6  – A balanced performance. Even if he lost possession nine times, his passing accuracy was over 90%.

Mancini 7 – Dominated in the air, winning four aerial duels from four. No coincidence that he scored his first international goal with a header.

Calafiori 6 – Not as effective as usual, especially with the ball at his feet. Lost possession 12 times, more than any other Italian defender tonight.

Cambiaso 6 – Glimpses of quality down the right flank, but he wasn’t consistent enough. (85’ Spinazzola N/A).

Tonali 6 – The Newcastle star, one of the best Italy players under Gattuso, wasn’t as sharp as usual. Surely a bit tired, having already made 13 appearances this season. (92’ Piccoli N/A).
