Italy beat Albania 1-0 in a friendly in Genoa on Tuesday to maintain their unbeaten record since Antonio Conte took over the national team after their poor World Cup campaign in Brazil.
Sampdoria forward Stefano Okaka headed home in the 82nd minute of his debut to give victory to an Azzurri side most made up a understudies to Conte's usual starters. Sassuolo defender Francesco Acerbi, a cancer survivor, came on as a late substitute to make his international debut.
Italy have won five out of their six games under Conte.
