Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon was happy with Italy's 2-0 win over Albania.

The World Cup qualifier marked Buffon's 1,000th match.

Buffon said, "We had to overcome a few difficulties, considering the chances Albania created, but fortunately we didn't pay a heavy price for those.

“As well as give our contribution on the field, we veterans of the squad have to transmit the right mentality to the younger members."

The match with Albania was suspended for nine minutes in the second half when a group of travelling supporters repeatedly threw fireworks on to the pitch.

“It was a real shame. There were moments of great sporting unity and fair play throughout, but as often happens there's always a small group of people who don't like fair play and find the worst way to get themselves attention."
