Both nations experienced last Thursday in the World Cup-play-off semi-final of surcharges. Turkey lost 1: 3 in Portugal, while Italy experienced a lamination at the 0: 1 against Nordmasedonia.
Turkey experienced the better start to the friendly match, which was already cheered after three minutes: Cengiz Embarrassed completed a solo by the legs of Donnarumma for early leadership (4.). Only a few minutes later, Stefan Kuntz had to react because Kabak had hurt and brought Ayhan into play for him. Then the Italians took over the game control, but brought little compelling. Scamacca only met the external network (10th) and Zaniolo failed several times from the distance (6th, 19th).
Debuts for Zaccagni and Özcan
A standard brought Italy back to the game: Berardi found Cristante with a free-kick, which made powerful to compensate (35.). After a crashed tee of Turkish Keeper Bayindir, Raspadori turned the game in favor of guests to 2: 1 (39.). The last exclamation point before the break Calhanoglu sat down a great spacer shot, the Donnarumma from the angle scratched (45.).
In the second half, to the beginning Roberto Mancini Zaccagni turned on and his national team debut enabled, it came back to the duel of the former team colleagues: Calhanoglu lit a direct free kick, the Donnarumma showed worth seeing (51.). After a good hour, the next debutant entered the field: Kuntz brought Cologne's Özcan, who had recently decided for the Turkish national team.
Raspadori decides before
The game of the Turks became more ordered for a short time. Ayhan missed the compensation for a corner (64.), then Turkey had to plug in the third counter hits because of the negligence of his defensive: Raspadori marked the ultimately preliminary decision 3: 1 (69.).
In the final phase, it was suddenly exciting again: After header from Söyüncü, the substitute Dursun dusted to 2: 3 (83.). And Turkey continued pressure: Dursun forced Donnarumma to a glory (85th) before Zaccagni was still crucial by Cengiz ounces (90. + 1). Also through the turn-in exchange of Routinier Bonucci (for double-organs Raspadori) and the conversion to Fünfernkette for the last minutes burned nothing more in the Italians and the Squadra Azzurra drove the first victory in 2022.
