Italy won their opening game against Ghana 2-0, with goals coming from Andrea Pirlo and Vincenzo Iaquinta.
The second match was a much less convincing 1-1 draw with USA, with the opening goal by Alberto Gilardino equalized by a Cristian Zaccardo own goal.
Italy finished on top of Group E with a neat 2-0 win against the Czech Republic, with goals from Marco Materazzi and Filippo Inzaghi, advancing to the Round of 16 in the knockout stages, where Australia was beaten 1-0. In this match, Materazzi was controversially sent off early in the second half, but in the end the Azzurri won with a controversial penalty kick, won by Fabio Grosso and converted in the 95th minute by Totti.
The quarter-final match was a 3-0 victory against Ukraine, with Gianluca Zambrotta opening the scoring and Luca Toni scoring twice .
In the semi-final, that would be remembered as the most memorable game of the event, Italy beat hosts Germany 2-0, with the two goals coming in the last two minutes of extra-time. Fabio Grosso scored the first goal in the 119th minute, after a disguised Pirlo pass found him open in the penalty area, and Alessandro Del Piero sealed the victory, by scoring in the last minute of overtime.
The Azzurri won their fourth World Cup, defeating France in Berlin, on July 9, 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at the end of extra time. French captain Zinedine Zidane opened the scoring in the 7th minute with a tricky penalty spot kick, controversially awarded for a foul by Materazzi. Twelve minutes later, a header by Materazzi, from a perfectly placed corner by Pirlo, scored the equalizer. In the second half, a header goal by Toni was nullified for an offside. At 110', Zidane was sent off after a head butt, provoked by an insult directed at him by Materazzi; the two players were eventually fined by the FIFA. Italy then won the penalty shoot-out 5-3, after David Trézéguet's attempt hit the crossbar and Italy going perfect on all five attempts, Grosso converting the final penalty past French keeper Barthez.
