Match report

Italy's under-20 side took care of New Zealand in their second group stage match at the World Cup, finishing 3:0 on Tuesday. The result puts the hosts second in their pool with three points from one game, while New Zealand remain third with nothing to show from their opening fixture.

Both teams made changes at the break, each side bringing on two players. Italy replaced M. Sciabica and C. March, while New Zealand saw L. Bennett and Z. Benson come on. The pattern held through the second half as well, with more substitutions following in quick succession.

The goals arrived late, and here's the thing — they didn't come until Italy had comfortably seen out the contest. R. Ventriglia scored twice, at seventy-eight and eighty-three minutes, before K. Appiah found the net in the eighty-ninth.

Italy dominated possession at sixty-eight per cent and registered ten shots on target, though they created no big chances. New Zealand managed only two shots on target and made more clearances, twenty-nine to eighteen, which tells you something about where the pressure fell.

Italy move top of their group with a perfect record, having beaten the United States 2:1 in their opener. New Zealand's run of poor results against top opposition continues, and the gap between them and the leaders is clear enough.
