The very classic between the two most titled national teams on the planet ends in a draw: in Geneva it is 2-2 between Italy and Brazil. The Azzurri got off to a good start, but in the first half it was the green-and-gold players who put the ball into the net: first with Fred, who took advantage of a lack of attention from the defence, then with Oscar, who scored after a wonderful exchange with Neymar.
It seems over, also because in the first half the Italians build several chances but they don't seem to be making a great night. In the second half, however, the unexpected comeback arrives: De Rossi with a corner kick and Balotelli with a gem from outside the box bring the match back into balance.
“We had a great game. We conceded two goals after 30' and the match seemed over. Instead we were good at recovering and doing interesting things – commented Cesare Prandelli -. 4-3-3 is an interesting form, there is still work to be done and we can do it. But you have to have time to work, however we managed to find the breadth and one on one. Balotelli? he was very good at scoring and created many chances, the important thing is to find energy again for Tuesday because there are 3 very important points up for grabs against Malta. Cerci and De Sciglio are young but have technical qualities”.
