The Southampton forward is denied from point blank range - fantastic save by Medvedev. 31 - GOAL! Azerbaijan 1-1 Italy! Unbelievable, the hosts have equalised! Chiellini and Bonucci are involved in a mix up and the ball suddenly breaks for Nazarov who strokes the ball coolly past Buffon. 35 - JUST OVER!

The visitors are back in front - Eder carves open the defence to play through Candreva who simply squares a pass to Shaarawy and he's left with a gaping net to tap the ball into. 60 - OFF THE LINE! Sadiqov, on his 100th international appearance, does tremendously well to clear Eder's effort off the line! It was close but the official behind the net said it did not cross the line. Wonderful defending. 65 - GOAL - Azerbaijan 1-3 Italy! Darmian surely seals Italy's place in France next year, the full back wins the ball from a poor pass in midfield and he strikes the ball low and hard past the goalkeeper. 87 - RED CARD!

Italy looked like they would score every time they moved forward. The front line of Graziano Pelle and Eder worked well together with Antonio Candreva causing all sorts of problems in midfield. MAN OF THE MATCH Antonio Candreva (Italy) The Lazio player tore his marker to shreds on the wing time and time again. His clever movement unlocked the Azerbaijan defence for Italys second goal when the scores were locked at 1-1.
