Italy coach Roberto Mancini was happy with their 3-2 win in Turkey.
The match was Italy's first since being eliminated from the World Cup.
“It was pointless in terms of competition, but if you need to do things, you need to do them properly, even amid negative circumstances," the coach told RAI Sport.
“The younger lads did well and that is pleasing. It was nice to see the reaction when we want 1-0 down too, as it was fiery here, the fans made it a great atmosphere, so we did well to keep cool and take control after the opening 15 minutes.
“It was the first time many of them had played together, so it was not easy. These are young players, we need time and it was not an easy situation. I am glad they did well."
