Boyan Miovski headed the goal from several times, but could not hit the target.
In the 47th minute, Ciro Immobile was able to put Italy ahead. Barella made a shot, but hit the post, the ball bounced to the Italian striker and he scored with his head. Italy looked set to win the match, but Enis Bardi equalized with a superb free-kick.
