Kean Matches Italy Record to Lead 1-0 vs Bosnia

Moise Kean scored in the 15th minute to give Italy a 1-0 lead against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the World Cup play-off, matching a national team record for consecutive appearances.

Kean finished a move involving Mateo Retegui and Nicolo Barella to put Italy ahead at the Bilino Polje Stadium. This goal marked his sixth in a row for the Azzurri, tying a record held by Balonceri, Riva, and Bettega.

The Fiorentina striker has now scored eight times in his last six national team outings, keeping Italy firmly on track for the 2026 World Cup.
