following Gianluigi Buffon’s fumble in the Italian box.
Buffon produced a moment of brilliance when he did spectacularly well to save the 30 yard screamer by the German midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Cassano-c6302 who duped Hummels before crossing
the ball into the box which was converted by Mario Balotelli.
The Italians then took the game by the scruff of the neck and had numerous opportunities to score with chances falling to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Neuer-c23424 was up to the task and smartly saved both of
those attempts.
The Italians then went on to secure the match, with neat work from Riccardo Montolivo who spotted the run of Mario Balotelli. It seemed like the German defence was trying to catch the Italian attacker offside, but Balo timed his
run perfectly and found himself in acres of space and unleashed a bullet of a shot which left Manuel Neuer stranded helpless.

“We did what we wanted to and thought could cause problems for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904, playing through the middle with Riccardo Montolivo and above all the one-against-one with Antonio Cassano.”
