Nadim Bajirmi took advantage of a weak throw-in from Federico Dimarco and shot the ball past Gianluigi Donnarumma, scoring the fastest goal ever in a European Championship.
Italy equalized in the 11th minute with a header from Alessandro Bastoni, and then Nicolo Barella put the team ahead five minutes later after meeting the ball, after a bad clearance, with a wonderful shot from the edge of the penalty area.
While Italy largely dominated the match after Baghermi’s goal, they created few real chances in the second half, and coach Luciano Spalletti appeared increasingly frustrated despite his team’s victory to advance to the top of Group B, sharing with Spain.
