Quarter-final Match

Travel to Italy Italy vs Travel to Ukraine Ukraine
in Hamburg

Previous Encounters:
Italy and Ukraine drew in Lausanne (0:0), during a pre-World Cup friendly. They also met during qualifying for Euro 96, with Italy winning both games: (3:1) in Bari and (2:0) in Kiev.

The Match:
Italy took an early lead as Gianluca Zambrotta ran through the middle of the field and struck from the edge of the area unchallenged.

After the goal, Italy never had any real desire to increase the lead; although Ukraine's need to equalise gave Italy more space.

But as Ukraine didn't look too desperate to risk letting any more goals in, we were left with a defensively stagnant game.

Half-time: (1:0)

Ukraine's best move came three minutes after the break; as the earned the first corner of the game.

From the corner, Gianluigi Buffon banged his head on the post as he saved Andriy Gusin's header; Buffon's first save of the game.

So Ukraine earned a second corner. Maybe Italy would start to attack as well.

Ukraine stepped up a gear and had two shots save off the line, in the 58th minute.

This did wake up Italy, as they pushed forward to earn their first corner. They took it short and Francesco Totti had plenty of time to chip into the box. The ball skimmed above Fabio Cannavaro, totally unmarked in the middle, but Luca Toni managed to nip in front of the far-post defender; to head his first goal of the tournament.

Ukraine picked themselves up immediately and Andriy Gusin headed onto the Italian bar; from a free-kick on the right.

Luca Toni taped in his second goal in ten minutes; Zambrotta having made the powerful run to get the move going.

Even at three goals down, Ukraine continued to attack; as Buffon pushed away Shevchenko's free-kick. If they'd have shown the same initiative in the first-half, Ukraine might have still been in the game with a chance of a place in the semi-final.
