Czech Rep.-Italy 0-2

Good match of the Italian companion against Czech Republic. After not a brilliant start, Italy menaged to score with Marco Materazzi (Inter) just in to substitute Alessandro Nesta (AC Milan) after being injured. In the second half another reserved player, Pippo Inzaghi (AC Milan) brought Italy to the definitive victory and the occasion to go on in this Championship. Great match of the Italian goalkeeper Gigi Buffon (Juventus FC), probably the best on the green field!

Next match Monday, 26th June at 17:00 in Kaiserslautern. Possible opposites: either Croatia or Australia (according to tonight's results in Round F).
