Italy remain top of Nations League group after draw with Israel
Italy remain top of Nations League Group A1 after a goalless draw with Israel
Israel started the match brightly and had the best chance of the first half when Shon Weissman hit the post.
Italy improved after the break and applied sustained pressure on the Israel goal, but they were unable to find a way through.
The result means that Italy remain top of the group with 10 points from four matches, while Israel are fourth with two points.
What does the result mean for Italy?
The result means that Italy remain in a strong position to win their Nations League group.
They are now three points clear of second-placed Netherlands, who they face in their final group match.
If Italy can avoid defeat against the Netherlands, they will win the group and reach the Nations League semi-finals.
What does the result mean for Israel?
The result is a disappointing one for Israel, who remain bottom of the group.
They have now failed to win any of their four matches and are in danger of relegation to League B.
Israel will need to win their final group match against Bosnia and Herzegovina to have any chance of avoiding relegation.
