Insigne delighted with first Italy goal

Italy striker Lorenzo Insigne has described the moment he scored his first international goal against Argentina.

The Napoli star found the back of the net as the Cesare Prandelli's men went down 2-1 in Rome last night.

"It was a wonderful sensation to score my first goal for the Azzurri," he told RAI Sport. "I always try those shots in training with Napoli and it went well tonight.

"I'm happy when called upon. I am slowly gaining confidence."

Insigne's Partenopei teammate Gonzalo Higuain and Valencia midfielder Ever Banega scored the goals for the visitors.
