Defending champions Italy improved their chances of qualifying for Euro 2024 by defeating North Macedonia.

The Italians seized the lead with Matteo Darmian's header, knowing that a point against Ukraine on Monday would be enough to book their place in Germany next year.

Jorginho of Arsenal missed a penalty, but Federico Chiesa made it 3-0.

North Macedonia's Jani Atanasov scored twice, but Giacomo Raspadori and Stephan El Shaarawy sealed the victory.

As a result, Italy is now second in Group C, behind already-qualified England.
