In the second match of the UEFA Nations League A Group 1, Turkey hosted Italy in Bursa. The consecutive goals scored by Italy in the early part of the match caused a reaction in the stands.
Tensions rose in the stadium after Italy brought the score to 3-0 in the 27th minute. Fans expressed their frustration toward head coach Vincenzo Montella and the Turkish Football Federation (TFF).
Chants of "Montella resign" and "TFF resign" were heard from the stands. It was noted that the reactions began particularly after Italy's second goal.
The national team falling behind early in the home match became the development that defined the atmosphere of the game.
