Venezuela vs Italy: friendly match in Miami by FIFA date.

Venezuela lost 2-1 to Italy at the Chase Center in California, United States, in a friendly match for FIFA, with a view to the Copa América and Qualifiers 2026. It was an even match, but the ‘vinotinto’ failed to win on the scoreboard. Their next match will be on Sunday the 24th with Guatemala.

Mateo Retegui (40′ and 80′) scored a double for the ‘Azurri’ team. Darwin Machís (43′) had put a partial tie for Fernando Batista’s team, which had everything under control, until the changes somewhat disordered his defensive scheme.

MIN 80: GOOOOOAL from Italy! Double by Mateo Retegui. The scorer received the ball in the heart of the rival area, made a great turn and made it 2-1 against Venezuela.

Those led by Fernando Batista, who have been the great revelation of the South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, will have the opportunity to face a European power and draw conclusions for the next Copa América, in which they hope to play a great role.

The ‘vintotinto’ is in fourth place in the qualifying table and has a good chance of entering a World Cup for the first time. To achieve this, they obtained historic results such as the 3-0 win over Chile or the 1-1 draw against Brazil as a visitor.

For its part, the cast led by Luciano Spalletti is preparing to defend its title at the Euro 2024 to be held in Germany. Let us remember that the ‘azurra’ is the current champion, since in 2023 they won the trophy by beating England in the final on penalties. However, they also come from the great failure of being left out of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

It should be noted that the last time Venezuela faced a European world champion team was on February 29, 2012, when they lost 5-0 to Spain in Malaga. Roberto Soldado with a hat trick, Andrés Iniesta and David Silva scored the goals for the ‘red fury’.
