Simone Pafundi is consolidating his position as a key member of the Italy Under-19 team. After 45 minutes with an assist against Liechtenstein's under-19 side, the Udinese talent remained on the pitch for the full 90 minutes against Switzerland. Despite numerous attacks by the Italian team, however, it was the Swiss who prevailed 1-0.

The last match will be decisive for qualification for the next European Championships. Coach Bernardo Corradi's team will face Sweden (21 November, 18:00 CET) and will need at least a draw to be certain of progressing.
