GIF: Giorgio Chiellini's header gives Italy lead vs. Azerbaijan

It took 44 minutes, but Italy entered the interval with a 1-0 lead in their Euro 2016 qualifier versus Azerbaijan courtesy of some poor defending from 'keeper Kamran Agayev and a composed finish from Giorgio Chiellini.

After Agayev failed to properly punch away Andrea Pirlo's corner kick, Chiellini was presented with an empty net and proceeded to head the Azzurri in front at the Stadio Renzo Barbera.

When Chiellini scores a rare goal, you can bet your money that it was header.
