For Italy it's a perfect start into this tournament while Mexico now have more or less to win their game against hosts Brazil to keep their chances for a semifinal qualification alive.
MARIO BALOTELLI gets Italy back in front with a superb individual effort! After a high lob by Giaccherini he forced his way through three defensemen and with a sideways scissor-kick he scored the 2-1 from short distance past the chanceless Corona!
