Francesco Toldo #12 (Italy vs Croatia, ECQ 1996, 8 Oct 1995)

Young Toldo played his first match for Azzurri in ECQ against Croatia, substituting Gianfranco Zola after the ejection of Luca Bucci. He had several beautiful saves in that match, but unfortunately he gave a penalty to Croatia and could not keep the clean sheet.

First Azzurri GK shirt by Nike... frankly, the material is quite thick and seemed to be less advantageous for sweat and heat dissipation in summer.
