U21: Azzurrini fire Spanish blanks
Friday 6 October, 2006
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Italy's chances of reaching the European Under-21 Championships
hang in the balance after wasteful finishing in the 0-0 draw with Spain.
The first leg of the battle to enter May's European Championships
was played at Modena's Stadio Braglia and Coach Casiraghi put his faith
in Raffaele Palladino and Nicola Pozzi, leaving Newcastle United starlet
Giuseppe Rossi on the bench.
Alberto Aquilani has an early shot charged down and Juventus man
Giorgio Chiellini nodded an Alessandro Rosina free kick off target early on.
Spain also threatened with Kepa prodding Gavillan's corner kick past
the near post.
Fiorentina's Riccardo Montolivo scored both goals in qualifying and
went close to a third, his long-range piledriver skimming the upright.
The Azzurrini had the better of the first half and another Rosina
set-piece was turned over by an Aquilani header. There was some chaotic
defending in the Italy area soon after, but the move was terminated
by a Spanish handling offence.
Palladino combined with Pozzi to send the Juventus man clear,
but the Spanish goalkeeper was able to intercept at the last second.
After the break, a fierce Aquilani free kick tested the Spanish goalkeeper,
who took two attempts to get it under control.
Premiership man Rossi was introduced for Palladino and
immediately seemed lively. Torino midfielder Rosina
had a screamer palmed away by Moya at the near post.
The Azzurrini were angry when Kepa seemed to handle the ball,
but play continued and he forced a good save out of Gianluca Curci.
Graziano Pelle came on for Pozzi and was cut off by a Spanish defender
as he rushed into the area.
Rossi created the best chance of the game so far after 80 minutes,
skipping past defenders on the edge of the area and his shot was
parried with some difficulty by Moya. Aquilani was unable to latch on
to the loose ball before it was cleared.
Andrea Lazzari of Atalanta was the final substitute,
but Italy squandered two glorious opportunities in stoppages.
First Rossi's corner kick was met by an Aquilani free header
that Moya acrobatically tipped out from under the crossbar.
Then a long-range Montolivo effort was parried into the path of Pelle',
only for the substitute to incredibly thump the upright from six yards.
Casiraghi's men went surging forward again in the final seconds
with Rossi's strike from an acute angle deflected out off
goalkeeper Moya's knee.
The second leg against Spain will be played on October 10
at the Nueva Balestera Stadium in Palencia.
The winners will qualify for the final phase of the tournament,
which will take place from June 10 to June 23 in the Netherlands.
The hosts have already qualified.
