Italy extend unbeaten run with victory over Tunisia
Italy beat Tunisia 3:1 in the Mediterranean Games on Friday night at the Stade de Tunis. The result keeps the visitors top of the table with five wins from five matches, while the hosts remain in third place after five games.
Italy had already shown their strength with a 3:1 win over Portugal on 20 August, and before that a 3:0 victory against Belgium on 16 July. They have not lost a game in this tournament and still hold every card for the final stages.
Tunisia sit third with eight points from three wins and two defeats. Their most recent outing was a 3:0 win over Algeria on 20 August, but they had picked up losses against Czech Republic and Iran in earlier fixtures.
By then the gap between the two sides was clear. Italy lead by seven points at the top of the standings, and this result extends their winning streak while Tunisia's campaign continues without a breakthrough in this encounter.
