2012 Euro Cup Fourth Quarter Final: Italy 4-2 (0-0) England

Monday, June 25, 2012 Report by Rajarshi Ghosh

Italy defeated England 4-2 on penalties to book a semi-final against Germany at Euro 2012 following a 0-0 draw after extra-time. The quarter-final at the Olympic Stadium, Kiev, produced the first goal-less draw of the tournament, but it was nevertheless an entertaining affair.

Italy dominated but were unable to find the killer blow, with England restricted to a series of half-chances.

Mario Balotelli scored the first penalty of the shootout past Manchester City team-mate Joe Hart, with Steven Gerrard on target for England. Riccardo Montolivo dragged his effort wide, before Wayne Rooney scored to put England 2-1 ahead.

Andrea Pirlo netted for Italy with an ice-cool chipped effort, before Ashley Young's attempt cannoned off the crossbar. Antonio Nocerino slotted home Italy's fourth, and Ashley Cole then saw his tame shot saved by Gianluigi Buffon. It was left to Alessandro Diamanti to stroke home the winner for Italy, booking his team a last-four showdown with Germany in Warsaw on Thursday.
