Match Reports

Lorenzo Insigne inspired Italy to a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over battling Bosnia-Herzegovina in an absorbing Euro 2020 qualifier in Turin on Tuesday.

Napoli star Insigne volleyed in a brilliant equaliser soon after the interval and provided the pass for Marco Verratti's decisive 86th-minute strike as Roberto Mancini's men extended their winning run to five matches.

Edin Dzeko had given the impressive visitors a 32nd-minute lead – the first goal conceded by the Azzurri since October – and their performance merited at least a point.

32' GOAL! Italy 0-1 Bosnia-Herzegovina (Dzeko)

Bosinia counter with such speed! Dzeko gets the goal, but all he has to do is tap in Visca's cross from less than a couple of yards out. The real architecht of the move is Besic, whose incisive flick sends Visca through and creates the chance to cross.

49' GOAL! Italy 1-1 Bosnia-Herzegovina (Insigne)

What a hit from Insigne! Bernardeschi delivers a corner to Insigne - who's completely unmarked outside the box - and he puts his right foot through the ball and absolutely rifles it into the bottom-left corner! What a stunning volley!

86' GOAL! Italy 2-1 Bosnia-Herzegovina (Verratti)

Lorenzo Insigne with an assist there.
