Spain vs. Italy, 2013 Confederations Cup semifinal: La Roja through on penalties

For 120 minutes Spain and Italy battled to a scoreless deadlock in the hot and humid Brazilian evening. Through six rounds of penalties, no one missed and the pressure built. Finally it was Leonardo Bonucci who cracked, sending his PK over the crossbar, allowing Jesús Navas to put Spain into the final.

Then, out of nowhere, the Azzurri flipped the switch and really cranked up the pressure.
