Despite their strong position, the Italians faced a significant challenge from North Macedonia,
the team that eliminated them from the 2022 World Cup last year in a playoff qualifier, providing an intense and nerve-wracking encounter.
The Juventus forward Chiesa helped himself to two goals in the closing moments of a one-sided first half at a packed Stadio Olimpico with a thumping shot from the edge of the box and a deflected effort finding the net to give his side a seemingly unassailable 3-0 lead.
Matteo Darmian had headed Luciano Spalletti’s side in front on 17 minutes before Jorginho saw a poor penalty saved by Stole Dimitrievski seconds before Chiesa struck his double blow.
Yet the game was not over as a header from visiting substitute Jani Atanasov on 52 minutes breathed new life into North Macedonia, who suddenly sensed a remarkable recovery when Atanasov’s hopeful shot then deflected into the home net on 74 minutes.
But late goals from Giacomo Raspadori (81′) and Stephan El Shaarawy (90’+3′) settled the nerves for the Azzurri players and fans,
who breathed a huge collective sigh of relief in moving ahead of Ukraine into second place in Group C with one match remaining.
