Italy had to wait until the final moments of the first half to break the deadlock.
Indeed, in-form Atalanta center forward Mateo Retegui converted a penalty to give Spalletti’s side the lead at half-time.
After that everything went smoothly.
The Italians doubled their advantage nine minutes after the break thanks to Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo.
Although Israel pulled a goal back midway through the second half, they never had a chance.
But the highlight came in the 72nd minute.
Dimarco chose Frattesi, who has maintained his prolific international form to highlight the day between the teams.
Shortly after Frattesi’s goal, Di Lorenzo put the icing on the cake to complete his double.
It seems that Dimarco and Frattesi are the pillars of Spalletti’s national team reform after the EURO 2024 fiasco.
The two Inter stars established themselves as monumental figures in the Gli Azzurri first team after the tournament.
Alessandro Bastoni was also impressive.
However, in all honesty, the Italian defense didn’t have much to do against the below average Israelis.
