Liechtenstein 0-5 Italy
Italy were fine form on Tuesday evening after thrashing Liechtenstein 5-0 at the Rheinpark Stadion.
With qualification already secured, Roberto Mancini had the freedom to play as Federico Bernardeschi opened the scoring after two minutes.
That proved to be the only goal in the first half, as a brace from Andrea Belotti and further strikes from Stephen El Shaarawy and Alessio Romagnoli completed the rout in the second half.
Romania 1-1 Norway
