Problems for Italy. Bastoni sent off for a reckless foul

In a World Cup 2026 qualifying final match, Italy national football team travelled away to face Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team, but a highly unfortunate incident unfolded for the Azzurri.

Details: Towards the end of the first half, Italy centre-back Alessandro Bastoni committed a very rough challenge on his opponent, diving into a tackle and catching the man rather than the ball. The referee had no hesitation in showing a straight red card to the defender.

Italy will play the second half a man down.

Reminder: England striker Harry Kane will not be able to help his national team in today’s friendly against Japan national football team. The all-time top scorer for England national football team will miss the game due to sudden physical issues.
