Italy again dominated as it beat Finland 2-0 in its final warmup for the European Championship on Monday. Antonio Candreva won and converted a penalty in the first half and substitute Daniele De Rossi doubled Italy's lead in the 71st minute, with a header, shortly after coming off the bench. Just as in its previous friendly against Scotland, Italy's opponent did not have a shot on goal in the first half.
