Mon June 14 (Day 4): Italy 1, Paraguay 1

Paraguay surprisingly played defending champion Italy to a tie.  In fact, Paraguay took a 1-0 lead near the end of the 1st half, when Paraguayan defender Alcaraz leapt between and above two Italian defenders (Daniel De Rossi and Italian captain Fabio Cannavaro), heading the ball into the side netting off a beautiful service from a free kick near midfield.

But Italy equalized, and De Rossi earned redemption, also with a goal that came off a set piece.  The Paraguayan goalkeeper badly missed an attempted punch at an Italian corner kick–the ball sailed over him to the far post, where De Rossi fought off his Paraguayan mark and volleyed the ball home.
