Then, the second half. Buffon had to leave the pitch. Hope the injury is not serious and he will be back in the goal in the next match. Marchetti didn't had too much work to do. Paraguay was not a real threat to Italy's goal.
On the opposite side of the pitch - a goalkeeper Villar. Have seen him in action first time. Made quite good impression on me, although he misjudged the corner, what cost the team a lost goal. His fault, no doubt about that. However, he made important saves later and thanks to him Paraguay kept that 1-1 draw.
Can't say that the last minutes were not thrilling! Italy kept attacking but without a success.
According to ESPN stats Villar made 4 saves. No saves recored for Italian goalkeepers.
