UDINE, Italy: Midfielder Nicolo Barella and forward Moise Kean scored their first international goals to give Italy a 2-0 win over Finland in their opening Euro 2020 qualifier on Saturday.
"It was not an easy game, they defended almost from the start with five at the back," said Italy coach Roberto Mancini.It was not just the youngsters who shone as 36-year-old Sampdoria striker Fabio Quagliarella, Serie A's leading scorer this season, was brought on in the second half for his first international appearance since 2010.He forced an excellent save from goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky and hit the crossbar."It was a stupendous evening," he said.
The visitors came into the game but made little headway and Italy's Federico Bernardeschi had a penalty appeal waved away before halftime. Having got into plenty of good positions only to be let down by their final pass, Italy finally got it right when Ciro Immobile slipped the ball through to Kean and the 19-year-old fired a confident finish past Hradecky.
