Italy Hands Zidane First Loss as France Coach in 3-1 Defeat

Italy achieved a 3-1 comeback victory against France at the San Siro, handing Zinedine Zidane his first defeat as head coach of the French national team. France initially took the lead in the 10th minute through Michael Olise, who capitalized on a mistake by Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Italy equalized in the 26th minute with a goal from Francesco Pio Esposito, assisted by Nicolo Cambiaghi. Despite several chances from both teams, including a missed penalty by Sebastiano Esposito for Italy, the hosts took the lead in the 63rd minute when Davide Frattesi scored from a Federico Dimarco cross.

This victory propelled Italy to the top of Group A1 with 10 points, level with France but ahead on head-to-head record. France was without injured forwards Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele but still created numerous opportunities during the match.
