Uruguay 2 Italy 2 - (aet, 2-3 on pens): Buffon saves THREE penalties to earn third spot


Gianluigi Buffon was Italy's hero as his three penalty saves in the shoot-out saw the Azzurri to victory and a third-place finish in the Confederations Cup, at the expense of Uruguay.
The two sides drew 2-2 after 120 minutes with Italy creating the majority of the chances.

Davide Astori put the Italians ahead after 25 minutes before Edinson Cavani levelled the scores after the interval. 

Edinson Cavani had a brace in the match for Uruguay.

One of the best keepers in the world, if not the very best.
