Goals from Nicolò Barella and Lorenzo Pellegrini set Italy on their way to a narrow victory at home to Hungary in Cesena.

Hosts opened the score after the first 30 minutes of the game, when Leonardo Spinazzola rolled the ball across the edge of the area to Barella, whose shot was too powerful for Dibusz to keep out. Then Pellegrini almost set up Wilfried Gnonto for a second, but moments later scored himself, turning in Matteo Politano's pass.

Italy scored another goal in the second half, but it was at the wrong end as Mancini diverted Attila Fiola's cross into his own net. However this didn't keep Azurri from winnig the game, scoring three points for the first time in 2022/23 Nations League.
