It's the big day. On this Sunday, June 16, we'll know the winner of the fiftieth edition of the Maurice Revello Tournament. Côte d'Ivoire and Ukraine will face off in Salon de Provence at 6.15pm. But before the final, another match would decide the third team on the podium. And it was a top-of-the-table duel that set the ball rolling. Italy and France faced off at the Stade d'Honneur Marcel Rostand in what promised to be a great match. Despite their inconsistent results over the two weeks of the competition, both teams were keen to finish on a high note. In an evenly-matched game, both teams could have won, but it was the Italians who finally broke the deadlock, winning 1-0.
