Italy triumphs over Israel 5-4 in wild World Cup match: Gattuso clashes, Man City's goalie falters, 7 goals scored.

Italy's national team manager, Gennaro Gattuso, was involved in a heated exchange with an Israel player after Italy secured a late victory in their World Cup qualifier match. Italy, the 2006 champions, are currently in a tight race to qualify for the upcoming World Cup, sitting in second place in their group after losing to group leaders Norway earlier in the qualifying rounds.

The group winners will qualify directly for the World Cup, making Italy's upcoming match against Norway crucial for their chances of making it to the competition in North America. In their recent match, Italy needed a late goal to secure a 5-4 victory over Israel, preventing Israel from overtaking them in the group standings.

The match saw several lead changes, with Italy eventually clinching the win with a goal in the 91st minute. Following the game, a confrontation occurred between Gattuso and an Israel player, which was diffused by other players.

Italy's goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, had a challenging game, making four saves but conceding four goals. Despite his performance, Italy emerged victorious. Gattuso praised his team for their resilience but acknowledged the need to improve defensively to avoid conceding goals easily in future matches.

Italy's remaining qualifying matches are against Estonia, Israel, Moldova, and Norway, with qualification set to conclude in mid-November.
