Highlights: Poland 2-1 Italy in U21 EURO qualifier with amazing Pisilli volley

Watch the truly remarkable goal scored by Niccolò Pisilli that has earned comparisons with Paolo Di Canio, but Italy U21 team’s defending on counter-attacks was disastrous in Poland.

The Azzurrini had taken the lead in this European Under-21 Championship qualifier thanks to a moment of sheer magic from Roma midfielder Pisilli.

He controlled the cross at the back post with his right boot, flicked it up over a defender and then smacked it with a scissor-kick volley into the far top corner.

However, it wasn’t enough, because the Nazionale were caught out twice by avoidable counter-attacks in the space of five minutes for a 2-1 defeat.

It drops them down to second place in the group, three points adrift of new leaders Poland.
