Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Turkey gets underway.
- 5' Cengiz Umut Meras has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 30 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Okay Yokuslu, as he is very good at scoring at Stadio Olimpico, Rome with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Leonardo Spinazzola suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

- 30' Italy is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

- 51' The travelling Italy supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 53' What a strike from Merih Demiral! The score is 0-1.
- 58' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
