Italy continued their perfect start to
qualifying for the 2022 World Cup and extended their unbeaten
record to 25 games, equalling the streak achieved by Marcello
Lippi's World Cup-winning team between 2004 and 2006, with a 2-0
victory in Lithuania on Wednesday.
Stefenao Sensi set the Azzurri on their way with a strike from
outside the box shortly after the break.
Ciro Immobile sealed the win with a stoppage-time penalty having
failed to put away a series of good chances in the second half.
Italy are top of European qualifying Group C with nine points
from three games, three points more than second-placed
Switzerland, who have played one game fewer.
