Italy have beaten fifth seeds, Azerbaijan by two goals to nil in tonight's other Group Nine Qualification match.

An own goal from Ahmadov on the half hour, and a Del-Piero goal just after the hour mark tied up the win for Italy.

Fifth seeds, Azerbaijan put up a good fight against Italy, and perhaps may not be the whipping boys people expected.

In the early group table, Wales and Italy sit joint top.
