Minor North Macedonia have pulled up one of the biggest shocks, stopping European Champions, Italy from qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Doha, Qatar.

Italy, 5th in  FIFA ranking, needed to win a play-off against 67 ranked North Macedonia to qualify for the final stage of qualifying for the World Cup but they lost 0-1 to the minor.

Aleksandar Trajkovski was the hero of the match as he scored the only goal of the match on added time.

Italy dominated possession but it amounted to nothing as they could not score any goal.

Earlier on 20 minutes, Italy wasted opportunity to open scoring as Domenico Berardi found some space inside the box and got in a strike, but the shot was brilliantly blocked by one of the defending players sliding in.
