Italy beat Algeria 3:0 in the Mediterranean Games on 25 August 2026, maintaining their flawless start to the tournament. The hosts secured another clean sheet as they continued their dominance in Group A.
Italy remain top of the table with five wins from five matches and fifteen points. Algeria sit fifth after losing all five games and accumulating just two points — a stark contrast between two very different campaigns.
The Italians have been scoring freely, with recent results showing 3:0 against Serbia, 3:1 over Tunisia and 3:1 past Portugal. Their only blemish came against the United States in a 3:0 defeat that stands as an outlier in an otherwise impressive run.
Algeria's form tells a different story entirely. They lost 3:1 to France, 3:2 to Portugal and have been beaten 3:0 on three separate occasions — by Tunisia, Belgium and Ukraine. This latest result extends that difficult run.
By then, Italy's position looked secure. A three-goal margin put the game to bed early and reinforced what the standings already showed. The gap between these two sides has barely moved, though the points difference now stretches further.
