A brace by Vincenzo Grifo helped his side earn a routine 3-1 friendly win over Albania on Wednesday night ahead of the upcoming World Cup.

Adrian Ismajli scored the first goal for the home team at the Air Albania Stadium.

Twenty minutes later, Giovanni Di Lorenzo tied the game. Five minutes after Di Lorenzo’s goal, Grifo put Italy in front for good, and his second goal after halftime sealed the win for the Azzurri.
