Italy advances against Turkey over Di Lorenzo-Vergara's gesture

In the heart of the Nations League pitch, Italy immediately asserts itself against Turkey, gaining an early advantage thanks to Di Lorenzo‑Vergara's move that disarms the opposing defence. The quick movement down the right flank frees the full‑back, whose cross is collected by Gianluca Scamacca.

In the 26th minute of the first half, the ball into the penalty area leads to Gianluca Scamacca's decisive shot, which beats the Turkish goalkeeper and gives Italy the first goal of the match.
