SOCCER/Spain 0 Italy 0: SPAIN FINALLY broke that 88-year-old Italian hoodoo last night in Vienna when they beat Italy in a penalty shoot-out that provided the most dramatic moments of a game that for long had been hidebound in a tactical stalemate. Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas was the hero, converting the fifth Spanish penalty after both Daniele De Rossi and Antonio Di Natale had previously seen their efforts saved by Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas, the hero of the night.

A performance of almost boundless energy and ingenuity from the 27-year-old had inspired the Russians to victory and attracted the attentions of the drug testers. Well, there was certainly very littl 2000 e to suggest that any Dutch needed to be detained.
