This is how the entire first half passed. Italy , as usual, was built from back to front , but when it came to the rival area lacked ideas to generate danger to the goal defended by Uğurcan Çakır .
In the second half, the Italian team kept looking for the rival goal , although this time with more insistence. The constant overflows paid off. A cross by Domenico Berardi generated great problems for Turkey’s defense, so much so that the defender Merih Demiral could not control the trajectory of the ball and ended up overtaking Italy, the product of an own goal.
Goal for Italy! 🇮🇹⚽️‼ ️
The first Eurocup score came and it was Demiral’s own goal! 😳 # TUR 0- 1 # ITA

Finally, ten minutes after the end of the game, the Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne, colo I ate the cherry on the cake. The striker was outlined in the race and scored a great goal with his right leg . Uğurcan Çakır was undoubtedly having nothing to do with such a well-directed shot.
⚽Recovery goal by Lorenzo Insigne!
🇮🇹 The Italians had never won a game in the Euro by scoring more than 3 goals.
