Italy beat France 3-1 to move top of Nations League group

Italy came from behind to beat France 3-1 at San Siro, moving top of Nations League Group A1 after Pio Esposito scored twice and Davide Frattesi added a goal. France took an early lead through Michael Olise, but Italy scored three times to hand Zinedine Zidane his first defeat as France coach.

Olise put France ahead in the 10th minute after Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma gave the ball away while playing out from the back. Italy equalised in the 26th minute when Nicolò Cambiaghi’s cross from the left found Esposito, who finished from close range.

France had chances to regain the lead before halftime, including a Bradley Barcola effort that struck the post. Donnarumma also tipped a Rayan Cherki shot onto the woodwork after the break. Italy then missed an opportunity to go ahead when Sebastiano Esposito sent a penalty wide around the hour mark.

Frattesi put Italy in front in the 63rd minute, finishing a cross from Federico Dimarco shortly after the substitute entered the match. Italy earned a second penalty when Antonio Vergara was brought down by Dayot Upamecano. Pio Esposito converted in the 75th minute to complete the scoring.
