Italy suddenly fell to its guest North Macedonia (1-0) in the semi-finals of the European qualifying round for the 2022 World Cup.

Thus, Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup twice in a row, for the first time in history.

The Azzurri had also failed to reach the 2018 World Cup in Russia, after losing to Sweden (1-0), in the aggregate of the two play-off matches, and that was for the first time in 60 years.

It is worth noting that North Macedonia went up to face Portugal in the World Cup qualifying play-off match, which will be held at the Dragao Stadium in Porto, next Tuesday.
