Italy 2 Netherlands 0
Italy gave new coach Antonio Conte a flying start when they scored twice in the first 10 minutes to beat Netherlands 2-0 in a friendly in Bari on Thursday.
Ciro Immobile put the home side ahead after three minutes before Daniele De Rossi added a second goal by converting a penalty after debutant forward Simone Zaza was fouled by Bruno Martins Indi.
Indi was handed a straight red card in somewhat harsh fashion, effectively ending the match as a contest and giving Netherlands coach Guus Hiddink a miserable start to his second stint in the job.
Italy had dropped maverick striker Mario Balotelli while Arjen Robben was one of several Dutch players ruled out through injury.
