Di Lorenzo does well to cut across Yildiz and stop him going clear, drawing the foul too.

Cambiaso robs Yilmaz, but then the through ball is over-hit for Frattesi on the counter.
Period of Turkey possession, the crowd tries to wake Italy up with some chanting.
Bastoni brings down Yilmaz, could’ve been a yellow, as Montella pointed out. Before that, Dimarco nutmegged by Muldur.

Raspadori and Frattesi on, Retegui and Pellegrini off.
Kaan and Celik off for Turkey.
Ozdemir and Ozkacar on.
