Italy Crush Liechtenstein in Euro 2020 Qualifier After 2nd-Half Scoring Spree

Italy cruised to a 5-0 win over Liechtenstein on Tuesday to maintain their 100 per cent record in Euro 2020 qualifying.

Roberto Mancini's side had already sealed top spot in Group J and picked up their eighth win thanks to goals from Federico Bernardeschi, Andrea Belotti, Alessio Romagnoli and Stephan El Shaarawy.

The visitors opened the scoring with less than two minutes on the clock when Bernardeschi hammered home the opening goal from a Cristiano Biraghi cross.

Italy had to wait until the 70th minute to double their lead. Belotti directed a powerful header past goalkeeper Benjamin Buchel from a Vincenzo Grifo corner.
