Italy shattered Hungary's dream as they won 2-0 at the Puskas Arena with goals from Giacomo Raspadori and Federico Dimarco, with the Azzurri progressing to the Nations League Final Four in place of the hosts.

Hungary, who came into the game as Group 3 leaders, needed a draw to reach their objective but Marco Rossi's ultra-defensive approach unwittingly drew Italy closer to their own penalty area.

Peter Gulacsi's nerves got the better of him early on as the RB Leipzig keeper almost scored an own goal after five minutes when a Cristante cross slipped through his hands. Attila Szalai prevented the goal on the line.

But moments later, Gulasci would not be spared as Gnonto capitalised on the goalkeeper's hesitance and Raspadori tapped home.

The hosts missed a good chance through Szalai just before the break and, as is so often the case, it would be punished.

Barella and Cristante combined well before Dimarco, bursting in from behind, struck beyond Gulasci to seal the points.

On what was his final international match, Adam Szalai was taken off late on to a massive standing ovation.

However, it was Italy who went home happy, with a win that takes them into the final four.
