France vs Italy

Italy captain and defender Fabio Cannavaro controls the ball ahead of Zidane.

France looked more dangerous in the second half, but the Italian defence held on.

France lost key midfielder Patrick Vieira to a hamstring strain midway through the second half but maintained the pressure amid the tiredness as the error count rose.

There were no further dramas and the final went into extra-time for the fifth time.
