Italy dominated Estonia 5–0 in a World Cup qualifier that underscored the gulf in quality between the sides. Operating in a 4–4–2 formation, the Azzurri controlled proceedings with 40 shots, of which 13 found the target, and generated an expected goals figure of 5.23—a clear reflection of their attacking superiority. Estonia's 4–2–3–1 setup offered minimal threat, mustering just four shots with two on target and a meagre 0.7 xG, though their goalkeeper delivered a perfect save percentage in a rearguard action. Bastoni and Kean each registered a goal in Italy's comprehensive victory, with the hosts' clinical finishing converting their dominance into a comfortable scoreline. The result reinforces Italy's credentials in Group A as they pursue automatic qualification.
