Italy beat Uruguay on penalties after an entertaining affair to claim third place in the Confederations Cup.
Davide Astori put Italy ahead when he tapped home on the line before Edinson Cavani equalised with a low effort, reports the BBC.
Alessandro Diamanti restored Italy’s lead with a curling free-kick and then Cavani levelled again with a stunning free-kick to ensure extra time.
But it was decided on penalties as Diego Forlan, Martin Caceres and Walter Gargano missed to give Italy a 3-2 win.
