The Italian selection beat Turkey (3-0) thanks to the talent of their attacking trio in the opening match of Euro 2020. Three players from Lille were in the Turkish team for this meeting, including the attacking Burak Yilmaz.

But they were not sparkling, like their teammates.

The Italians remained on 27 consecutive games without defeat before the opening match of Euro 2020 which pitted them against Turkey on Friday night at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

Squadra Azzura therefore continued their momentum by winning 2-0 against a Turkish team too shy to really worry the men of coach Roberto Mancini.

The latter therefore launch their Euro perfectly in front of their audience.

About 16,000 people attended the meeting.

The Italians will face Switzerland on June 16 for their next match.

The Turks will have to catch up against Wales on the same day.

Italy make a strong impression in attack and launch their Euro

Dominating in the first half, the Italians played to scare each other by not scoring in the first act, despite a coiled first strike not on target from striker Insigne in the 17th, then attempts from the header Chiellini in the 21st and of Immobile at the 31st. But Roberto Mancini's players did not let themselves be destabilized by the 0-0 at half-time. Quite the contrary. In the second half, they were much more realistic on three occasions.

It was first on a goal against his own camp by Turkish defender Merih Demiral that the situation was unblocked after a strong cross from the Italian striker positioned on the right, Domenico Berardi.

The Italians also sent a strong signal on the health of their attacking trident because another striker, Ciro Immobile, then doubled the bet, before the third Italian offensive arrow, Lorenzo Insigne, also scored. a goal (79th) after a failed recovery from the Turkish goalkeeper.

Turkish players from Losc little in sight

Three Lille players were starting at the kickoff in the Turkish eleven against Italy: defender Zeki Celik, midfielder Yusuf Yazici and especially star striker Burak Yilmaz.

But like their teammates, the trio were not particularly to their advantage.

At the start of the match, Burak Yilmaz was penalized several times for offside positions.

As a symbol of how difficult it is for Losc players to gain a foothold in this game.
