  "summary": "Italy and France played to a 1-1 draw in their Nations League match in Paris, with Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni proving instrumental in the result. Bastoni opened the scoring in the 55th minute, capitalizing on a blocked counter-attack to level the game. Italy made two changes from their side that had defeated Türkiye 4-1, with Riccardo Calafiori and Moise Kean returning to the starting lineup. However, France had the upper hand in terms of possession and shots, managing 65% possession and 2 shots compared to Italy's 35% and 8 on target. The game saw Dayot Upamecano receive a second yellow card and be sent off in the 85th minute. Bastoni's impact went beyond the goal, as he made a crucial late intervention in stoppage time to thwart a potential penalty appeal, showcasing his defensive prowess. Despite France's possession and shot advantage, Italy managed to secure the draw, while Bastoni delivered both in attack and defense.",
