Italy 4-3 Spain

Spain's fate was sealed in the last minute of this exciting match when Matteo (today's Player of the Match) rounded three players and smashed a thunderous shot past the vainly outstretched arm of the goalkeeper.
Oliver had put the Italians 1-0 up in th first minute, coming from the right to meet a Dariush cross. Oli then set up Matteo - 2-0 - and Matteo scored again after near misses by Dariush and Davide. At 3-0, it seemed downhill all the way and Francesco Sciotti's goal just before half time seemed insignificant.
But Spain had other ideas and their comeback was triggered by Andrea's determination. After Leo had nearly scored from a header, Francesco T got on the end of Francesco S free kick to make it 3-2 and Francesco S grabbed his second goal to make it - incredibly - all square.
But Matteo refused to surrender the win and his last goal was born of determination, power and skill.
