90'+5'
Given the shadow cast across the game by upcoming events in Qatar, two motivated sides put on an entertaining display in Tirana, which Italy deservedly won due to their more clinical finishing and better use of the ball. Ismajli's opener offered hope to the home fans that a shock could be on the cards, but the new-look Azzurri fought back soon after, and danger-man Grifo was rewarded for his performance with two well-taken goals. While they won't be at the World Cup, this showing bodes well for the Italians' defence of their European crown.
