U21 | Armenia 0-1 Italy: Cisse to the rescue after Koleosho penalty miss

Italy Under-21 kept their European Championship qualifying hopes alive with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Armenia. Milan prospect Alphadjo Cisse scored a dramatic late winner by following up on a rebound after Armenian goalkeeper Hayk Ghazaryan stopped an effort from Luigi Cherubini.

The Azzurrini endured a frustrating match, striking the woodwork twice through Cisse and Pietro Comuzzo before Luca Koleosho had his penalty kick saved by Ghazaryan following a handball by Petik Manukyan. The victory ensures Italy remains in contention to top the qualifying group ahead of a decisive clash with Poland.
