    Montolivo with a hard shot into the left bottom corner while Casillas is in the right corner – 6-5 Italy.
     
    With all the pressure on him Mata scores also into the left bottom corner while Buffon is in the other direction – 5-5.
     
    Pirlo with a calm shot into the left bottom corner and Casillas doesn't even react – 5-4 Italy.
     
    Sergio Ramos with a lot of patience fires the ball into the left top corner while Buffon was only in the bottom corner – 4-4.
