Italy beat Israel 3-1 in their World Cup 2018 qualifier last night with West Ham’s Angelo Ogbonna coming off the bench for the Azzurri.
The match was delicately poised at the hour mark, with Italy leading 2-1 but down to 10 men following the dismissal of Giorgio Chiellini and Azzurri manager Giampiero Ventura turned to Ogbonna and Ciro Immobile- both players he has worked with in the past at Torino, and the duo played their part in the team coming away from the Sammy Ofer Stadium with all three points.
Ogbonna came on as a 63rd minute substitute for Bonaventura.
