Cristiano Biraghi Leads Italy Past Poland in UEFA Nations League with Late Goal

Italy grabbed their first win of the UEFA Nations League on Sunday, beating Poland 1-0 thanks to a late goal from full-back CristianoBiraghi.

The Azzurri dominated large stretches of the match and had numerous chances to open the scoring, but woeful finishing and a great outing from Wojciech Szczesny kept them from scoring until Biraghi struck.

Italy were held to a draw by the Poles in their first meeting and lost to group leaders Portugal. They hadn't won a match since the 2-1 victory over Saudi Arabia in May.
