After a season in which he scored two Serie A and and two Coppa Italia goals for AC Milan, Paloschi put Italy ahead on 42 minutes. AC Siena forward Forestieri, who opted for Italy ahead of his native Argentina, played 17 Serie A matches this season, scoring against FC Internazionale Milano, and sealed the win in Martigny with 14 minutes left. On Wednesday Italy take Switzerland in Sion, the mini-tournament hosts having lost 3-2 today to Sweden's next opponents in Saviese, France.
