Juventus midfielder Federico Bernadeschi staked a claim for a starting role in Italy’s European Championship opener with a fine strike against San Marino.
The scores were tied for the opening 30 minutes of the encounter before Bernadeschi took one touch from just outside the box to smash it home.
Federico could well be in perfect condition for the tournament having played limited minutes under Andrea Pirlo this season, and could remain fit should fatigue works its way through the squad.
