Italy beats germany 2-0 in dramatic last minuite performance
Media Release
Jul. 5, 2006

Fabio Grosso and Alessandro del Piero grabbed two goals in the final two minutes of extra-time to puncture the German World Cup party and send Italy into the final 2-0.

With a penalty shootout looming, Grosso curled a fantastic left foot drive into the corner and as Germany desperately searched for a late equaliser, substitute Del Piero broke free to guide in the killer second. Germany had been seeking their eighth appearance in the final where Italy were hoping for a sixth -- both countries having won the trophy three times. The game began at a terrific tempo and it rarely dropped as each side passed sharply and went forward probing for openings. Generally, however, the defenders were able to resist most forays, with captain Fabio Cannavaro again masterful at the heart of Italy's back four and Italy's Simone Perrotta and Germany's Bernd Schneider missing the best of the few first-half chances.
