The Audu Adamu-led side took the lead twice in the first period with goals from Godspower Igudia and Victor Tale before the Italians rallied back to ensure the first period ended in a 2-2 draw.

Gabriele Gori followed his impressive scoring exploits in European qualifying with six goals for the Italians and Paolo Palmacci contributed to the victory with a hat-trick, including two bicycle kick goals.
