A World Final. Italy beat Korea and give themselves the dream of winning the Under 20 World Cup. The most awaited jewel, Simone Pafundi, tears up a ticket for the last act of the tournament in Argentina.

A match that for the Azzurrini of Carmine Nunziata he seemed to be doing just fine right away. After 14 minutes indeed Cesare Casadei, a true star of the tournament, had given Italy the lead, scoring the seventh goal in six games with a precise right foot from the edge. The illusion didn’t last long, though. Nine minutes and a foul by Matthias Zanotti on Bae Jun-ho sends to the floppy Lee Seung Won which makes 1-1.
