Tonali bails out Italy in narrow win over Israel


The game seemed over, but Israel scored twice in two minutes to level the score at 4-4, Dor Peretz netting his second of the game. Tonali then hit a speculative curling shot in the first minute of stoppage time, which seemed unthreatening but found its way through a crowd of players and into the net. The game was played less than a month after the Italian Soccer Coaches' Association said it wrote a formal letter calling for Israel to be suspended over the war in Gaza.
