How Chiesa rescued Jorginho’s penalty miss to give Italy win in Euro 2024 qualifier

Federico Chiesa came to the rescue of Jorginho during Italy’s Euro 2024 qualifier against North Macedonia.

Jorginho who is now plagued by penalty struggles, faced North Macedonia’s goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski, who expertly denied the Arsenal midfielder’s attempt. The miss marked Jorginho’s second consecutive penalty woes, having previously missed against Switzerland in the 2022 World Cup qualification.

Chiesa seized the opportunity, smashing home a remarkable goal from the edge of the box, securing Italy’s two-goal lead. Matteo Darmian and Chiesa, again, had earlier given Italy the advantage in the first half. Despite a comeback attempt by North Macedonia’s Jani Atanasov with a brace, Italy maintained control. Late goals from Giacomo Raspadori and Stephan El Shaarawy secured a convincing 5-2 victory. The defeat dashed North Macedonia’s hopes of automatic qualification for Euro 2024. Italy, on the other hand, now sits in a favourable position ahead of their decisive final qualifier against Ukraine. With both teams tied at 13 points, Italy’s superior head-to-head record gives them an edge. A draw in their upcoming match will secure Italy’s qualification, making it a winner-takes-all showdown in Leverkusen. However, the question now arises whether Jorginho will be entrusted with future penalties after his recent struggles.

Bruno Fernandes delivered a crucial injury-time goal to secure a 1-0 victory for Manchester United against Fulham. The Red Devils had been enduring a dismal run of form with recent 3-0 defeats to Manchester City and Newcastle. The win at Craven Cottage gives United and Erik ten Hag a breath of fresh air. The match got off to an eventful start when Marcus Rashford was sidelined due to a late fitness test, leaving United without a key player. Bruno Fernandes late goal against Fulham – Getty image Scott McTominay appeared to give his team an early lead, but VAR ruled it out, citing Harry Maguire’s offside position in the build-up. Even when he didn’t touch the ball, VAR noted he was actively involved. In the second, Anthony Martial’s ambitious overhead kick narrowly missed the target, causing United more frustration. As injury time drew closer, Fulham had multiple opportunities to clear the danger, but it was Bruno Fernandes who capitalized on the situation. The United captain found himself on the edge of the area, delivering a low finish that eluded Bernd Leno and secured the crucial victory for his team.
