Italy Road to Victory 🏆 _ 2006 FIFA World Cup Champions _ All Matches _ Goals _ Road to Glory

Auguri, Italy. World Cup 2006. Zaccardo on the right wing and Grosso on the left wing. Nesta and Cannavaro are the two centrals. And then we have Pirlo in the middle. The cross, Perdelossi, then Cannavaro jumps. The ball goes over the cross, a good Italy at the start. Yes, the approach was definitely convinced, determined, without presumption. We didn't underestimate anyone. Perrotta, who is a penalty shoot-out. The ball is in, Donilon arrives. Coralli, Gilardino. It's on the bottom. Clamorous goal for Italy. 11 minutes and 16 seconds. We need a back-up. Very good, very good. Pirlo, short. It's a scheme. Totti has tried the powerful conclusion. This is a scheme that he liked a lot. On the right, nice superposition. The cross. Donilon and Gilardino. Then Totti from the opposite side. Again the cross deviated. Corner kick. They both jumped on the same ball. He fights. The ball is still for Montani. Left. He tried to go around. We've seen him give a lot of balls in this World Cup. Ball kicked. Not very good. High finish over the cross. Gilardino first for Toni. He gets in. There's Cuffuru on the cover. Gilardino again. And Toni, who crosses the cross. Clamorous. He crosses the cross. Clamorous. Toni. We have to look for this kind of play. They are always one against one. Asamoah. He tries the right. Out. Fortunately for us, he didn't continue the action. Because he had an advantage on Cannavaro. He slowed down the race to be able to... And Sien can go in. And Sien with the left. Ball on the bottom. Sometimes we leave some penetrations too much. Posta. He comes to put down. Papoe. He makes everything wrong. We gave too much time to Asamoah's play. Or Asamoah's on the right. Asamoah. He could... He goes to Totti. And Kingston puts in a corner kick. A bomb from Totti. He makes the cut. De Rossi doesn't get there. Kingston neither. And Cannavaro puts it high over the crossbar. Another opportunity on the corner kick for Italy. Fabio, they don't take us at the start. They leave us... He's free. He could also kick. He does it. André! 1-0! No, very good. He took advantage of an indecision on the free kicks. They got stuck in the penalty area. Ball behind. And Pirlo kicks very well on the second post. Kingston doesn't see the ball leaving. And it's a great goal. Splendid goal by Pirlo. He said in the games... Then good ball for Kroos. Regular position. And Kingston saves. But Kroos pulled. There was Toni alone. And Kroos apologizes. It was offside. Let's see. Girardino keeps it tight. Girardino alone. Kingston! Great ball by Totti on Girardino's crossbar. No, good Totti. He moves between the lines. Pirlo keeps it tight. Pirlo! Kingston! With a miracle! He saves the goal. He tried to end it with strength. I think he needed more precision. 5th post! He got it! Vincenzo! Yeah! 5th! 2-0! He listened very well to his speed. But Kufuur's mistake. He's still on the ground. He's getting desperate. A too short step back. And he didn't have... Central. The suggestion for Essien. He's really the man of the team. Essien. He proved to Auschwitz that he is a player clearly superior to the others in his team. That's enough! Everyone under the shower. 2-0 for Italy. It's a great start. He's able to keep it tight. When there's room, he pushes it to the right. He'll stay with three blocks. Arina too. Punishment kick. Ginardino cuts it! A blow out. Cannavaro must have touched it for a second. Dempsey's tricks. Cross. To the center. The ball passes. Convey! The right is not his foot. But we suffer. Martina Maestri on the field. Martina. Dempsey. To the right. Buffon didn't touch it. But we suffer. 18 minutes. Pirlo. We have to exploit them. We made a mistake before. But now we have to be careful. Don't end up out of play. Pirlo's punishment was perfect. And Ginardino. No one marks him. They stay in their positions. They just have to cut in front. And put it in. Ball cut by Bocanegra. It doesn't go in smoothly. Autogol by Zaccardo. Incredible draw of the United States. Yes, it was attacked from behind. It seems to me that Bocanegra doesn't hit this ball well. McBride was behind him. Convey hits it to the center. Bocanegra has arrived. And the ball is high above the crossbar. Yes, he was really the man of... Out. Gattuso. Tony committed a foul. He was also out of play. The goal is not valid. Gattuso thinks that Sinistro had just found him on the field. Yes, but immediately I... Pay attention to his right. Mastroeni tries it. Above the crossbar. Yes, we forced him in a difficult situation. Because it was a repartee. ...that passes through Reina. Right deflected. It's a corner kick for the United States. They try to close in the end of this first half. Pirlo. Foul on Pirlo. Let's see what color it is. It's red. And he goes under the shower, Mastroeni. This red was clear. Obvious. The delay. Foot to the hammer. More physical. Inside for Gilardino. Entry on him by Pop. And there is yellow also for Pop. Fully deserved. Because he hit a lot. Here was the delay. I want to see if he took the ball. And Pop, who was already in Monito. Out of nothing. But Keller was there. I don't know, Fabio. No, eh. I don't know. Because he went to the right. Pirlo's free kick. Cettoni. They are all there. Crosses. McBride. In the penalty area. McBride. On the bottom. You know I have to think about these things. Besley. In the penalty area. Buffon shot. United States in advantage. Canceled. Besley's goal. For offside. There was a man in front. For offside. Attention to the right. He tries it around. On the bottom of nothing. Gianluca Zandrotta. I was waiting for him to jump on the inside. To be able to reach the conclusion. Pirlo was good. He took the man away with the overlap. Creating this one against one. He jumped it very well. Pirlo. Then it's free. Del Piero who goes. Keller. And then he insists. Still in Italy. With Perrotta. Del Piero in play. Del Piero in the center. The touch. And the Americans are saved. He takes the ball away. And there is no more time. The referee sends Totti under the shower. It ends 1-1 between Italy and the United States. They should play on the pitch. They should. Because he had some changes. And then we'll see if they will settle like this. With Salva. First thrill for Italy. Cross. And then Francesco Totti. Who sticks it there. And then Salva again. We are suffering. Because we are not good at defending centrally. Where they often come to the conclusion. The first chance also for Italy. The 25th. The Americans lose Reina for bad luck. A bad news for them. We went close to the conclusion. Indeed, we concluded with Gattuso. Even if, in short. He's not scoring anyone. Ball cut. Sane Materazzi. Marko. Materazzi. 1-0. He is kept away from Kovac. Who uses his arm a lot here. He uses a lot. He can try a shot. He tries it. Maybe he touched it. Check. There is a corner kick. Great right by Francesco Totti. He is our most free man. They leave him free. On a direct marker. Central ball. Cavanese. And once again we manage to hit. But we do not find the ball. Inzaghi. The ball is there. Inzaghi. On the bottom. A ball with the clamorous for Inzaghi at the 23rd. He took advantage of the rebound. Then there is Steiner. In the foot. Buffon. Corner kick. Second ball hit by Inzaghi. We have to close the game. Inzaghi in the center again. Perrotta looks for the right. There were four men against two in the penalty area. We do not have to look for these solutions. He coordinates with the left. Buffon. In two times. He will jump well. This ball has tempted the conclusion. Inzaghi. Super. It was not a life. Pippo Inzaghi. He was not a life. He did not score since October 11 2003. Against Azerbaijan. Inzaghi to 2-0. They risked everything for everything. Maybe the game was not ideal. They conditioned us all the game. This is more important. Italian team. Buffon's goal. Number one. Further by the order of the numbers, the third Fabio. Everything has already grown with dust, if it were not for the same qualities, what a stunning moment Tony had now. If it were not for the same qualities that the Argentinean Ivan Roman Riquelme won. But attention, a dangerous breakthrough for the Italian team. The blow is blocked. Great play. Tony throws the ball back. The ball flew right over Schwarzer. Without much effort, the goalkeeper copes with this blow to Giovardino. To the Italians. A blow to Tony. Schwarzer plays with his foot. At the last moment, he managed to leave his foot in place. The so-called variety of reggae. Rishanov, a header. Veduka did not turn out to be strong. They defend, do not sit down at the gate. Here, here, how to be. How to be when such a guy as Luca Tony goes for a breakthrough. You will admire this attacker. Dangerous. Very dangerous. Let's think, let's think. The lineman raised the flag. This ball was already outside the field. And, probably, he will fix the free kick now outside the field. Such a dangerous moment. And another blow. Like this, quite unexpectedly. Simon Perotti passed from the right flank. Rishanov breaks forward. And what does Cartagena show? Ah, that's it, he got up. I had a feeling that he was here for a long time. Well, a difficult, dangerous blow. But in the direction of the turn. Well, there are several at once. Dangerous. A quarter kick. Bukhon's blow. An attack from Ankekel. He is at the limit. A very dangerous free kick. Bukhon, in fact, either saw everything well, but I doubted it. He just did not see it. He did not see the ball at the moment when the free kick was already given. Australians are just falling in the penalty area. This is the solution. 92 minutes and 57 seconds were on the stopwatch. They just gave the nerves to Lukas Nila. The point is that today the football community celebrates the 5th Gavshchina. And here in Pomeranian they will attack. There will be a blow to the goal. The blow is very dangerous, but past the goal. Bukhon is next to me. Zamtropito hits a turn from a long distance. And a goal. One, absolutely one. A kick from a long distance. Far away, but just in case. And Bukhon lay down. This is Timoshchuk. Shevchenko hits a ricochet. Bukhon manages to shift himself from left to right. And does not give the ball. There Timoshchuk is on the right side. But the blow with a turn. To the weight. And a blow with a turn. Yes, this was a real goal moment. Real. And Bukhon, you see how his friends in the team thank him. Here is the weight. They say, but Totti will hit. Ricochet. Shavkovsky does it right, otherwise it would be a corner. There will be a blow with a turn. Well, finish it off. Oh, oh, oh, what a misfortune. Once again, luck turns away from the Ukrainian team. Totti to the weight. Dangerous moment. 2-0. You do not score, they will score for you. It is possible not to disassemble further. Konovarov, the central defender. He, I said, in my opinion, Spaslovka performs a penalty. A blow with a turn. And there, in the crossbar, again bad luck. 3-0. Bukhon is healing. 80th minute. A blow from a long distance. Bukhon beats off. How skillfully he beat off. You saw, the ball is a little, like, unsavory. And now the goal situation. Another goal for Shavkovsky. Totti, a technician, Totti, an entrepreneur, could not outplay Shavkovsky. 3-0 still in the team's favor. But Totti seems to want to look for the goal. Lehmann. He kicked very well, he let his leg go well, he found the ball. Perrotta's ball. Regular position. Perrotta stretches it. Saves. Then the ball is still there. Perrotta. And saves Lehmann. Inside for Schneider. Great opportunity. Schneider. On the bottom. What we must not grant to Germany. These quick starts. Do not lose the ball. Camoranesi's cut ball. He had the right time. It had been found very well. Pirlo. Ball for him. Grosso. Lehmann. But out of play by Grosso. He thinks about the shot. He tries it. On the bottom. He wants to turn. Bukhon. Then Friedrich makes a mistake. We have to risk. Out. Perrotta. Lehmann. But it was out of play. Signaled with serious delay this time. Penalty kick for Germany. High. It goes. Ballack's penalty. He puts it down. Totti. Inside. Perrotta. He saved Lehmann. Regular position for Perrotta. Pirlo then. His Don Cor. Girardino gives the penalty. Too lateral. Girardino. Goal. What a move. Girardino doesn't make it. Zambrotta. Right. It's not possible. What violence. He made an incredible shot. Ball inside. Podolski. On the bottom. He complains. Ball inside for Podolski. Penalty. Bukhon. Corner kick. Totti goes inside. Pirlo with the left. Lehmann with the corner kick. We deserve it. 13 minutes. Pirlo. Again. Pirlo. From the ceiling. Girardino. Goal. A spectacle. They all were ahead, destroyed. We started well. First goal for Pirlo. He had made a mistake like this in the 2000 against France at Grand Finale. Here he made the right decision. He managed to score. Never the same. Now we see it again, for the first time. Exactly the team from the semifinal against Germany. I want to see Fabio, I think he let himself go I want to see him France in the lead Indications to Erisondo that he hadn't decided He made a spoon Sagnol is looking for the cross It's deflected It's a corner kick for France He's looking for the first post France is saved with the header from Thuram Ready to go Pirlo The second post, the ball is coming It was immediate because the team is very good on the pitch Pirlo's ball, always there Materazzi, save on the line but pushed this time, penalty kick for France Yes, but they are careless Pirlo kicks, cross The second in the World Cup for him We have to take advantage of the inactive balls We did it for the whole World Cup We already did it with Materazzi Big kick, he's looking for a ball 1 against 1 on Cannavaro Buffon, then Grosso Camoranesi He's looking for the reds He's looking for a penalty Maybe he should have checked with an arm Yes, he should have Penalty kick for France He was on the ground Go Pirlo! On the bottom of a 0 Well kicked With determination The ball is still there How good Meanwhile, there is a player from Italy on the ground on the opposite side Trezeguet didn't make a good gesture Trezeguet said Buffon said Trezeguet said Pirlo against Barca Yes! Strong cross Very good Materazzi You know him Abidal Yes! Also this Make us sing
