- 90'+5'That's all from Tirana today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!
- 90'+5'Italy will conclude their camp with a game against Austria at the weekend, while Albania get another chance to end their winless streak on Saturday, when they meet Armenia.
- 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.
- 90'+5'FULL-TIME: ALBANIA 1-3 ITALY
- 90'+2'Almost making an immediate impact, young sub Pafundi flicks the ball on for Chiesa, but Berisha is able to complete a routine save.
- 90'+1'A slice of history is made, as 16-year-old Pafundi comes on for his international debut; Verratti makes way.
- 90'+1'A striker, Pinamonti, comes on for Italy captain Bonucci.
- 90'The first of an Italy triple substitution sees Raspadori replaced by Chiesa, who only recently returned to fitness after almost a year on the sidelines.
- 88'SAVE! Meret again comes to the Azzurri's rescue; making a sharp stop to repel a spectacular overhead kick from substitute Skuka! Bastoni failed to clear, and his goalkeeper had to get down quickly to keep the ball out and clear up the mess.
- 88'Reja also makes a switch up front: Uzuni makes way for Skuka.
- 90'+1'

- 87'Substitution - In0 - Qazim LaçiSubstitution - Out0 - Keidi BareBooked today, and an irritant to the Italians for most of the second half, Bare makes way for Laci.
- 77'Substitution - In0 - Ylber RamadaniSubstitution - Out0 - Amir AbrashiFollowing a superb display up front, Grifo is given a rest; Gnonto will provide some fresh legs for the Azzurri.

- 71'Substitution - In0 - Adrian BajramiSubstitution - Out0 - Ardian IsmajliNedim Bajrami, who set up the opening goal, is also replaced; Inter midfielder Asllani comes on instead.
- 65'Yellow Card0 - Odise RoshiPerhaps partly due to frustration at conceding another goal, Roshi picks up a booking for a reckless challenge in midfield.
- 64'Goal0 - Vincenzo GrifoGoal! Albania 1, Italy 3. Vincenzo Grifo (Italy) right footed shot from the centre of the box to the top right corner.
- 61'Yellow Card0 - Marco VerrattiAfter a couple of questionable challenges on either side, Verratti loses his head and grabs Bare by the shirt. A melee ensues, and by the time order is restored, the PSG midfielder is shown a yellow card.
- 61'Yellow Card0 - Keidi BareAfter heating up the combustible Verratti with some close physical attention, a multi-player scuffle kicks off, and Bare ultimately sees yellow.
- 51'Substitution - In0 - Odise RoshiSubstitution - Out0 - Armando BrojaA downcast Broja limps off the pitch, as he has picked up an injury and is withdrawn by Reja; Roshi is his replacement.
- 45'+3'Yellow Card0 - Marash KumbullaPenalised for a foul right at the end of the half, Kumbulla is shown a yellow card by the referee.
- 45'+2'Substitution - In0 - Samuele RicciSubstitution - Out8 - Sandro TonaliAfter a delay, while Italy continue with 10 men, the injured Tonali is finally replaced by Ricci.
