Kean matches Italy record to lead 1-0 vs Bosnia

Moise Kean scored in the 15th minute to put Italy 1-0 up against Bosnia in their World Cup play-off, matching an Italy national team record.

Kean finished a move involving strike partner Mateo Retegui and Nicolo Barella, tapping the ball into the net from the edge of the area.

The Fiorentina striker matched the record held by Adolfo Balonceri, Gigi Riva, and Roberto Bettega, becoming only the fourth player to score in six consecutive national team appearances.
