PALERMO, Sicily — Italy achieved its biggest win in more than 70 years when it beat Armenia 9-1 in its last qualifier for the 2020 European Championship on Monday.
Italy's biggest win since a 9-0 result against the United States in 1948 featured three Italians scoring their first international goals.
Nicolo Zaniolo, debutant Riccardo Orsolini, and Federico Chiesa all got off the mark to help Italy to a record-extending 11th successive victory.
Chiesa hit the woodwork twice before finishing off the scoring for Italy nine minutes from time.
Italy, which had already qualified for Euro 2020 as Group J winner, ensured it progressed with a perfect record of 10 wins in 10 matches.
