Euro 2020: Italy score 3 goals for first time in European Championship history in win over Turkey

Insigne and Immobile scored after Demiral's own goal as Italy beat Turkey 3-0 in the opening game of the Euro 2020, which is being held after a year's delay due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Italy made history in Rome on Saturday night as they registered a crushing 3-0 win over Turkey at the Stadio Olimpico to clinch 3 crucial points in the opening match of the Euro 2020. Italy dominated from the start but was denied in the first half by a superb save from Çakr and a decision by the referee not to award a penalty for an apparent handball. Such was the pressure created by Italy that they took 13 shots in the first half itself but just 3 were on target. The deadlock was finally broken in the 53rd minute when Merih Demiral couldn't block a shot from the Italian striker Berardi and the ball went into the back of the net after taking a deflection.
