Italy on the verge of
World Cup qualification, but the Azzurri are still narrow favourites to win Group C after a 1-1 draw with rivals Switzerland in Rome. With the teams level on points at the top of the group, victory would have given either side a vital edge going into their final games on Monday.
Switzerland got the perfect start when right-back Silvan Widmer opened the scoring after 11 minutes with a ferocious finish, shocking the home crowd at the Stadio Olimpico. His opposite number, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, equalised 10 minutes before half-time from Lorenzo Insigne’s clever free-kick.
