Ventura: Italy could have hit eight!

Giampiero Ventura acknowledged Italy could have doubled its goal tally in the 4-0 win at Liechtenstein, but was nonetheless impressed with his side's performance.

Andrea Belotti scored twice in the World Cup qualifier, with Ciro Immobile and Antonio Candreva also on target in the first half.

Italy failed to score after the break, though, meaning it remains behind Group G leader Spain – which hit eight past Liechtenstein earlier in the campaign – on goal difference.

Ventura was impressed by Italy's attitude in Saturday's match, despite the fact it did not hit the same heights in the second period.
