Italy secures a crucial victory at the 2024 Roller Hockey World Cup. After a decisive 7-0 win against Chile in the first match of Group B, the Azzurri also manage to defeat France with a narrow 1-0. The tension is high at the Pala Igor in Novara, with both teams creating chances, but goalkeepers Gnata and Chambel are up to the task, keeping the score at 0-0 until halftime.
In the second half, the pace picks up, but the pattern remains similar to the first half. The Di Benedetto brothers try to break through the Italian defense, but Gnata proves to be unbeatable. With less than 9 minutes left and a goalless draw on the horizon, Malagoli breaks the deadlock: he seizes an opportunity and sends the ball into the net, sealing the victory for Italy.
