Italy setting new personal UFWC title series record

For the 2nd time after 2007 Lithuania appeared in a UFWC title match, for the 2nd time they lost by 0-2 versus Italy. For Italy winning by 2-0 seems to becoming a common habit as this was the 5th time in a row that La Squadra Azzurra is achieving this result. But this is only part of the story - Italy conquered the UFWC title from the Netherlands 7th September 2020 and successfully defended the crown for 9 matches since then - an new record for the team!

Zimbabwe 2-0 Angola

And just like that Angola are unseated as UFWC top dogs after 9 months and 8 matches. Zimbabwe are the new champions, having won this explosive World Cup Qualifier in front of 45,000 fans with two second-half goals. Substitute Shingirai Kawondera struck the first from the edge of the box, before Benjani Mwaruwari headed in a cross from Joel Luphahla. Zimbabwe skipper Peter Ndlovu had a late header disallowed for offside. This was Zimbabwe's first win since October 2003, and it moves then to third in World Cup Qualifying Group Four.

Despite missing star man Shota Arveladze, Klaus Toppmöller's Georgian team held on for a fine victory.
