from Giorgio and Pelle.
Giorgio Chiellini and Graziano Pelle scored the goals as Italy wanted to
impose revenge for their Euro 2012 final defeat by dumping Spain out of

goalkeeper David de Gea was able to parry Ede s furiously
struck free-kick. Pelle volleyed in a deflected cross in injury
time to complete Spains anguish.

Gerard Pique late on the set up of appealing quarter-final
clash with Germany on Saturday in Bordeaux.

which includes a 4-0 win in the Euro 2012 final. The first 45
minutes of the opening the azzurri were at the better side and
could have been more than one goal up at the break.

defeat to Croatia which cost them top spot in Group D.

by Manchester United stopper.

De Gea, albeit referee Cuneyt Cakir had already blown for a foul as Italy
continued to dominate the early exchanges.
It almost took 28 minutes of effort for Spain to have a goal yet too
Iniestas weak shot was straight to the Buffon.
The breakthrough 12 minutes before half time was made by Antonio
Contie when the Spain captain Sergio Ramos unnecessarily dived in on
Pelle to concede a free-kick on the edge of the box.
Ede s impressive effort was parried by De Gea only as far as Giaccherini
and he punched the ball into Chiellinis path to bundle home.
