Spain vs. Italy, 2013 Confederations Cup: Headed to a penalty shootout
Spain had the much better opportunities to score in extra time, regularly failing to convert decent half-chances with horrible shooting. Italy got close on one occasion, in the 93rd minute, with Emanuele Giaccherini hitting the post on a cross by Antonio Candreva. In 115th minute, Gianluigi Buffon deflected a shot by Xavi onto the post.
These two teams went to penalties in their Euro 2008 quarterfinal, with Spain coming out victorious, 4-2. Both of the goalkeepers playing in this match -- Iker Casillas and Gianluigi Buffon -- were between the sticks in that game. Daniele De Rossi is the only player on the pitch who missed a penalty on that day.
