Lithuania frustrate world champions
Saturday, 2 September 2006

Lithuania earned the result of the night after forcing world champions Italy to come from behind for a draw in Naples.

Shock lead
The 28-year-old forward TomaÅ¡ Danilevicius, who scored 17 goals in 38 games for Serie B club US Avellino last season, had given the visitors a shock lead in the 21st minute but AC Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi calmed home nerves with a well-taken equaliser nine minutes later. The Azzurri were unable to add a second, however, and find themselves playing Group B catch-up on France, who won tonight and take on Italy in a FIFA World Cup final rematch in Paris on Wednesday.

Buffon save
Lithuania were in the mood this evening at the Stadio San Paolo, a fact underlined in the third minute when Robertas PoÅ¡kus blasted an effort wide from 18 metres. Four minutes later Danilevicius forced Gianluigi Buffon into a save. Italy, of course, had their moments at the other end. Antonio Cassano, back in the side after missing out on the World Cup, and Gennaro Gattuso both went close but it was Lithuania who struck first.

Cassano assist
Deividas Cesnauskis swung the ball into the box from the right and Danilevicius hit a left-footed shot beyond Buffon and into the net. Italy were stung into action and immediately went on the offensive only to find Å½ydrunas Karčemarskas in their way in the Lithuania goal. Before frustration took hold, Italy were back on terms. Cassano gathered the ball on the left before feeding Inzaghi to score from inside the area.

Tense finish
Most in the crowd would have expected Italy to dominate from that point, but Lithuania remained a constant threat. PoÅ¡kus had Buffon diving again to save although it was the hosts who looked the more likely; Andrea Pirlo had an effort blocked and Cassano twice went close. Lithuania hung on and will welcome Scotland to Kaunas on Wednesday with every confidence of adding to their hard-earned point.

The replay says otherwise.... disappointing to drop points so early on, especially to a lesser team.
Taking nothing away from Lithuania, they deserved their goal, but we prob deserved two or three.
Cassano was good in his return to the azzurri, but surely Gilardino and Zambrotta need to start against France. Inzaghi should be used as an impact player off the bench, if at all.....

agree with you born slippy, if we are going to beat france, zambrotta and gila must start... having said that, cassano did hav a gd game by the sounds of things... inzaghi is always handy off the bench..

instead of pointing fingers, accept some responsibility for your actions.

Here Arxidi :

Ur responsibility =
i) If someone post something racist/offensive, u'll delete / edit the post .. it's fair enough

My responsibility =
i) If someone post something negative about me, i'll try to defence myself and get them back ... i do think it's fair enough ... i've receive a lot of reply like monkey or watsoever .. yet i didnt see any reaction from the moderator (yeh u guys might be busy or no time to handle this type of childish thing which is again fair enough)... therefore, i didn't voice it out .. but as a man, i think i cant just sit there and listen to those bullsh1te ... therefore the only way for me to do so is to get them back .. and i dont think im cross the line ...

and FYI,
instead of just delete/edit the post, why dont u go and find out the root of the problem ?
