Italy hosted the first of 2 matches against France on Sunday night. The Italians jumped on top in the 31st minute on a Gatuso tally from well inside the box. In the second half Toni put the match away with an 18 yard strike from the top right corner of the box. @Italy 2 France 0 ITA Gatuso 31' ITA Toni 74' On French soil both squads struggled early on as the first half went scoreless. France had the best chance to go on top early when a shot at a wide open net from 10 yards out sailed over the bar. Italy found it's stride in the second half when Pirlo connected in the 61st minute. The Italians extended their advantage 6 minutes later with a Perotta strike off a corner. DiNitale sent the French fans packing at the 81' mark off another corner and Buffon took home another clean sheet 3 - nil. Italy 3 @France 0 ITA Pirlo 61' ITA Perotta 67' ITA DiNatale 81' Good games Ryan.
