Everyone was watching this one to see if Turkey would live up to their "darkhorse" status coming into the tournament, but what they saw was an eye-opening performance from Italy who dominated from start to finish and looked really, really good.

It's three for Italy! The cherry on top of a brilliant performance comes from Lorenzo Insigne, who receives a pass from Immobile and curls it into the bottom corner!
It's two for Italy! Another cross from Berardi that finds Spinazzola, his shot is saved by Çakir but Ciro Immobile is first to the rebound!
Italy takes the lead! Barella finds Berardi, who tries to find Immobile in the six-yard box but the ball hits Demiral's chest and goes in!
And we're back underway in Rome!
Italy completely dominated the first half and appealed for a penalty at least four times, and thanks to a couple of great saves by Çakir the Turkish are somehow going into halftime without conceding.
And Euro 2021 is underway in Rome!
I am!
