Italy will travel to Bosnia-Herzegovina, who have just beaten Wales on penalties, for the qualification decider on Tuesday. Meanwhile Ewan Murray was in Bergamo tonight. Here’s his verdict. Thanks for reading this MBM.
Michael O’Neill speaks to the BBC. “I’m very proud of the performance … [in the first half] we were terrific in terms of our shape and structure … at times we could have been a little bit better on the ball … in the second half we gave them a couple of moments we created ourself … the [first] goal was poor … there was always something for us … the second goal takes it away a little bit … we had a couple of chances at the end … it was a very young team tonight … they gave everything … we’ve made huge strides … disappointment is part of football … for us to come here to Italy and give a performance like that is a real positive for the team going forward.
