Match overview
Italy opened Euro 2020 with a commanding victory over Turkey at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico. The Azzurri dominated proceedings but had to wait until the second half for their breakthrough, when Merih Demiral’s own goal broke the deadlock. Ciro Immobile and Lorenzo Insigne added further goals to complete a comprehensive victory.
Trivia
This was the opening match of Euro 2020, delayed by one year due to the pandemic. Italy’s 3-0 victory became the biggest margin of victory in a European Championship opening game. Turkey had the youngest squad at the tournament with an average age of just 24 years and 353 days.
