Defensive metronome anchors the backline

M. Baltaxa completed 73 passes with 94.8% accuracy across 89 touches, controlling tempo from deep. His distribution formed the foundation for Israel's buildup play and defensive shape throughout the match.

Creativity without clinical edge

S. Tonali created 3 key passes but generated no expected assists, showing frequent involvement in Italy's attacking sequences. His open-play brilliance lacked the final cutting edge needed to truly threaten Israel's defense.

One-man defensive wall

O. Blorian made 13 combined tackles, interceptions, recoveries, and clearances, becoming Israel's primary defensive shield. His tireless work rate in the third restricted Italy's attacking space and disrupted their build-up phase.

Lively impact despite limited service

F. P. Esposito recorded 1 key pass in 45 minutes off the bench while creating no expected assists. His early involvement energized Italy's attack but lacked the chance creation or finishing opportunities to swing momentum decisively.
