Italy topped Group E with wins over Ghana and the Czech Republic and a 1-1 draw with the US. Marcello Lippi’s men produced a typically Italian display with a 1-0 win over Australia in the Round of 16 and disposed of Ukraine with a 3-0 win in the Quarter Finals to set up a huge clash with hosts Germany in the Semis. A tense game in Dortmund finished 0-0 after 90 minutes and the tie looked to be heading to penalties until Fabio Grosso broke the deadlock in the 119th minute to break German hearts. Del Piero then sealed Italy’s progression with a 121st minute second for the Italians to send them to the final. In one of the most iconic World Cup Finals of all time, Italy initially went behind to a Zinedine Zidane penalty in the 7th minute before Marco Materazzi levelled the scores on 19 minutes. The scores remained locked at 1-1 forcing the tie to extra time. It was in extra time when the two scorers would be involved in one of the most shocking moments of World Cup history as Zidane was sent off for a headbutt on Marco Materazzi. Even with a man advantage the Italians could not find a way through France and the tie went to penalties. All 5 Italian penalties were converted successfully with just David Trezeguet the only man to miss, meaning it was Fabio Cannavaro lifting the iconic trophy in Berlin
