Opening move of a pawn

Just a quick question.

I have a pawn that I have not moved.

Two spaces forward my opponent has a Bishop.

Can my pawn take his bishop on this opening move or can a pawn only capture on a diagonal.

I believe that on the opening move this is allowed, my opponent believes that this can't be done.

Thanks in advance for your advice.
