Youngsters Power Italy past Finland
Italy started their Euro 2020 qualification campaign in style as Nicolo Barella and Moise Kean scored their first international goals in a 2-0 victory over Finland, National Daily gathered.
Having failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup and put in a lacklustre showing in the Nations League, Italy were in need of a win to kick off their Group J campaign on a positive note.
And they were ahead early on in Udine when Cagliari youngster Barella one of several fresh faces introduced under Roberto Mancini hammered home from the edge of the box.
Teemu Pukki squandered a gilt-edged chance to restore parity midway through the second half, and Finland were made to pay for that miss when Juventus teenager Kean slotted in to make sure of the points.
