Group B

Italy 2 – 0 Ukraine
A soft penalty on Luca Toni and a wonderful goal by the Fiorentina striker puts Italy back on track for qualification. Ukraine will argue the penalty and will justifiably feel the scoreline was harsh as they almost equalize within seconds of the penalty that put the Azzurri up.
