Mario Balotelli scored his first international goal with a spectacular long-range strike to help Italy beat Euro 2012 co-host Poland 2-0 in a friendly at the newly-built stadium in Wroclaw.
Balotelli opened the scoring in the 30th minute as he received the ball about 40 yards from goal and spotted Poland goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny off his line, taking a few steps forward before beating him with a dipping long-range effort.
