Reigning European champions Italy secured the point they needed against Ukraine to qualify for Euro 2024 as Group C runners-up behind England.
A 2-1 victory in the second leg allowed Italy to avoid defeat against Ukraine, with whom they started this crucial encounter tied on points.
A frantic match in Leverkusen, Germany, ended in a goalless draw to confirm the Azzurri’s place in next summer’s final.
Third-placed Ukraine’s qualification hopes rest on the March play-offs.
More soon.
