Emanuele Giaccherini went a long way to proving his worth in Italy's Euro 2016 squad, neatly latching onto Leonardo Bonucci's phenomenal pass to slide in beyond Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
Monday's contest in Lyon was seen as the stellar clash in the first round of group fixtures, but the game's opener came from an unlikely source: an ageing midfielder who couldn't make the Sunderland bench.
