The midfielder gave the Azzurri the lead from the penalty spot before Roma’s star made the result safe, marking another win for the improving nation
Goals from Antonio Candreva and Daniele De Rossi helped Italy to a 2-0 win over Finland on Monday in their final friendly before kicking off Euro 2016 against Belgium on June 13.
Candreva opened the scoring when he converted a penalty after being brought down in the box, before setting up De Rossi for Italy’s second after half-time.
Antonio Conte opted to rest goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, giving Salvatore Sirigu the nod instead, while Simone Zaza and Ciro Immobile got the chance to prove their worth up front.
Zaza in particular caused the Finland defence plenty of problems, but the Juventus man failed to add his name to the scoresheet, missing a gilt-edged chance with 15 minutes left on the clock.
