Match overview
Italy dominated possession and chances-hitting the woodwork twice-yet needed penalties. Pirlo’s audacious panenka swung the shoot-out before Diamanti drilled the winner after Young hit the bar and Cole was denied by Buffon.
Trivia
Pirlo completed 131 passes, the most by any player in a Euro match since 1980. England lost a sixth of seven major-tournament shoot-outs.
