Ireland bounce back to beat UAE in Emerging Nations
Loss is Zinedine Zidane’s first as France head coach Spain beat Czechia 2-0 to maintain 100% record Pio Esposito struck twice to inflict a first defeat on Zinedine Zidane as France head coach as Italy stormed back to win 3-1 at San Siro and go top of their Nations League group.
Key points
- Michael Olise profited on a Gianluigi Donnarumma error to put the visitors in front after 10 minutes, but Italy hit back through Esposito and Davide Frattesi either side of half-time.
- The UAE won the toss and elected to field first, with Lloyd Tennant's side producing a much stronger showing with the bat than they did against Sri Lanka.
- The UAE had a nightmare start to their response as they lost Satish, Heena Hotchandhani and Rinitha Rajith all inside the first two overs.
Ireland will next be in action on Monday when they face face Papua New Guinea (09:15 GMT) before rounding off their group campaign with a game against Scotland on Wednesday, 18 November (05:00 GMT).
