At Kiev, Antonio Di Natale scored twice, including a tiebreaking goal in the 77th minute that gave Italy a 2-1 victory at Ukraine.
Di Natale headed in Christian Panucci's cross from the left in the 41st minute, but Andriy Shevchenko -- a former star in the Italian League with AC Milan -- beat goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon to tie the score in the 71st.
Massimo Ambrosini set up Di Natale's second goal, feeding him for a one-on-one with goalkeeper Olexandr Shovkovskiy.
"We showed a lot of character," Italy coach Roberto Donadoni said. "We're still a step behind physically but we're improving."
