Albania was defeated 1-3 by Italy in the friendly match held at the Air Albania stadium. 

Reds and Black played a generally good game, with 2 crosses narrowly missing the net. The national team started the challenge well as they found the goal with Ismajli who headed in the 16th minute. 

But the advantage lasted only 4 minutes after Di Lorenzo scored easily inside the area. 5 minutes later, the Italians scored again, this time with Freiburg striker Grigo. In the second half, it was again Grifo who scored the 3rd goal. Meanwhile, on November 19, Albania plays another friendly, this time against Armenia.
