Italy wins in France after 70 years. A resounding success, that of the Azzurri of Shoulder pads who are starting again in the best possible way after the embarrassment of the European Championship. And despite an uphill start.
Like at the European Championship, or worse. A shocking start for the Azzurri in the match at the Parc des Princes against France. After just 13 seconds, the Bleus are already ahead thanks to a sensational error in the right sector of the Azzurri defense. Ball taken from midfield with a backward pass, Cambiaso passes to Di Lorenzo who Barcola steals the ball by running to the left and then converges and beats Donnarumma with power. It is the fastest goal ever conceded by the Azzurri in their history. The previous record, 23”, was just three months old: first match of the European Championship in Germany against Albania, goal by Bajrami.
Italy’s reaction comes almost immediately. In fact, only 5 minutes pass and in the 6th minute the Azzurri almost equalise. Nice change of play by Ricci per Dimarcowhich supports PellegriniThe Roma player from the edge inspires the area for the insertion of Change who heads in the middle where Frattesi he is alone. The goal is wide open and the ball is comfortable on his head, but the Nerazzurri player hits the crossbar with his forehead. He is the first to arrive on the rebound Retegui but he doesn’t find the right coordination and the ball ends up high. A wasted opportunity.
Donnarumma complains of a blow to his back, but holds on.
Italy equalises
A fantastic goal by Dimarco. Italy equalises thanks to the Inter left winger who closes a triangle on the fly, with a backheel assist from Tonali and Mancina volley of the Nerazzurri. Italy draws in Paris, 1-1.
Barcola dangerous again: a very angled diagonal shot that grazes the post to Donnarumma’s left.
The 1st half ends.
The second half begins
After a good first half, Shoulder pads he wanted to change something anyway to give more offensive weight to Italy. Raspadori took the place of Pellegrini alongside Retegui up front.
Goal for Italy!
Frattesi recovers the ball in the three-quarter line, passes it to Raspadori which verticalizes for Retegui. Perfect assist from the Atalanta centre forward for Frattesi who took his place in the center of the area in time to slip the ball into Maignan’s net almost from the ground. It’s the goal that makes it 2-1 for the Azzurri in Paris.
Changes in France: Olise out and Breatheinside Dembelé of Psg and Kone of Rome.
Italy comes very close to scoring the 3-1 with a corner kick. Corner from the right, Frattesi heads it in, Maignan stretches out and manages to deflect it. Then Tonali on the ball, he is touched from behind by Kone but for the referee it is nothing.
Frattesi remains on the ground in pain. To avoid risks Spalletti changes: the Inter player is out in his place Udogie.
Hit for Calafiori. The Arsenal defender apparently took a hard blow to the flexor, but remains on the pitch after receiving medical treatment. After a few minutes, however, he gives up: in his place Good morning.
Third goal for Italy!
Blue show at the princes’ park. Udogie breaks through on the left, heads for the area and threads it in Raspadori who controls the ball by stretching it into the area, cutting out Konaté and then placing it behind Maignan. It’s the 3-1 goal.
France changes three men. Out Griezmann, Kanté and Clauss, in Marcus Thuram dell’Inter, Zaire-Emery e Koundé.
Spalletti also changes: a sore Dimarco and Retegui out, in Brescianinimaking his absolute debut with Italy, e Kean.
It’s over! Italy beats France 3-1 in Paris.
The Nations League begins with an Italian triumph.
