The second half kicked off with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 looking to get back in the game as early as possible. Di Natale had the chance to score for the Italians, but the forward just couldn’t keep his header on target and another chance went begging for the team.
In the 49th minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 went on to appeal for a penalty as they felt Bonucci handled the ball in the area. However, with him having no time to react and get his hand out of the way the referee decided to wave the game to continue.
The Italians had another chance in the 52nd minute as Montolivo went on to find Di Natale. The ball was played perfectly into his path, but his effort was once again kept out by a brilliant save made by Casillas.
The Spaniards went on to dominate possession following that chance and hardly let Italy get a hold of the ball at all.
Then they went on to put the killer touch on the game as they scored a third goal in the game. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707, who came off the bench went on to make a mark on the game as he scored for the team. Xavi played a brilliant through ball for the striker, who
had the simplest of tasks to slide the ball past Buffon and into the back of the net.
Just when you thought Spain would take it easy on the Italians, they went on to score a fourth goal in the game. Just two minutes before the game came to an end, Mata went in to contribute with a goal of his own. Torres went on to play the pass to the forward,
who slid the ball into the net.
However, with Torres having turned provider there, he went on to claim the Golden Boot, with him having scored three goals, but having produced more assists and doing all of this in lesser minutes then his closest rival to the trophy.
With Italy left with no way to get back in the game, it was only a matter of time before the referee blew his whistle and indicated that Spain were still the reigning Champions of Europe, having defended the trophy they won in 2008.
