Italy began their Euro 2020 campaign on a winning note as the Azzuri crushed Turkey 3-0 at the Stadio Olimpico on Friday.

The Azzuri opened the floodgate of goals after Merih Demiral’s own goal in the 53rd minute.

The Azzurri claimed a second in the 66th. A hard shot by Leonardo Spinazzola was parried away, but right to Immobile, who opened his account for the tournament.
