Heartbreak for Australia as Italy ride their luck..!!
Italy Vs. Australia
Score: Italy 1 : 0 Australia
Verdict: Italy ride their luck.
Key Moments :
a. Matterazi was sent off in the 51st minute and this changed an otherwise open game into one completely dominated by long spells of Australian possesion of the ball, but they failed to find the back of the net.
Italy meanwhile couldnt even get the ball into the oppositions half let alone create any chances.
b. Subsitute Totti scored from the penalty spot to break aussie hearts after Grosso tumbled down over Neill's body after 2:55 minutes of the 3 minute extra time.
The penalty was a bit harsh/unlucky , as Niell's initial challenge had missed both the ball and Grosso but he fell down on the ground. Now Grosso could have very easily jumped over him or taken a turn and gone around him but he chose to tumble right over him and referee pointed the spot.Very Unlucky :-(
