Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of Italy's European qualifier with Finland. Team news to follow, kick-off is 45 minutes away.

A smile on the face of Roberto Mancini, his Italy team make a winning start to their European qualifying campaign, thanks to goals from Barella and debutant Kean.

Three minutes will be added on.

Nineteen-year-old Leonardo Spinazzola replaces Biraghi for the last few minutes.

Donnarumma spills a shot from distance and then he's caught by Sparv who is already on a yellow card. The referee keeps his cards in his pockets, though.

To their credit, Finland are still playing some decent football. They have lacked a final touch of quality in the last third all evening, however.

Nicolo Zaniolo comes on for his Italy debut, the third of the evening. He replaces Verratti.

Rasmus Karjalainen came on for Finland a moment ago.

OFF THE CROSSBAR! What an impact Quagliarella is making for the Italians! He's denied by the woodwork with a shot coming off the right flank.

Piccini goes into book for a flailing arm across the face of Pirinen.

ALMOST A GOAL! Quagliarella forces a fantastic one-handed from Hradecky!

Fabio Quagliarella comes on for Immobile.

That goal will surely settle the game for the hosts and the Man of the Match, Kean, grabs it!

Kean scores on his competitive debut! Italy's best player of the night, the 19-year-old has a goal to mark a night to remember! Immobile runs from midfield, threads a ball through to the Juventus wonderkid who makes no mistake with a cool finish from 12 yards.

The first change of the game sees Hamalainen replaced by Lappalainen. It's an attacking switch from Finland, whose coach may just fancy his side's chances of getting a point now.

Finland are growing in confidence here. Lod fancies a crack from distance but his wild shot is always rising.

FINLAND CHANCE! Considering his form, you would fancy Pukki to score here! The Norwich defenders escapes the attention of Bonucci to meet Lod's cross but he gets his angles wrong and fires wide from 10 yards!

Verratti and Sparv are shown a yellow card after some handbags in the aftermath of that incident.

OUCH! It's not often you see the big man go down, but Chiellini is hurt and needs treatment after he gets his ankle trodden on. He's OK to continue, obviously.

Finland have failed to score in any of their last five away defeats, but there's still plenty of time to play in this contest.

Bernardeschi forces a corner, but Italy play it short and it's a complete waste. Jorginho is dispossessed easily and Finland's counter-attack ends up as an Italy throw-in after a loose touch.
