Bradley Barcola scores in first minute at Parc des PrincesSandro Tonali makes first Italy appearance since ban
Italy went behind after 12 seconds but came back to beat France 3-1 in a highly entertaining Nations League Group A2 opening game on Friday.
Bradley Barcola found the net in the opening minute when he caught Giovanni Di Lorenzo napping and raced into the area before curling a shot past Gianluigi Donnarumma. Italy levelled after half an hour with Federico Dimarco volleying home a deft backheel pass from Sandro Tonali, and the sides went in level at the break after a pulsating opening half.
