Italy hit back to deny Spain

A late Daniele De Rossi penalty for Italy rescued a 1-1 draw with Spain in World Cup qualifying at Juventus Stadium on Thursday.

Spain went ahead on a rare gaffe from Gianliugi Buffon on 55 minutes. The legendary goalkeeper charged out of his goal to meet a Sergio Busquets through ball in the 55th minute only to completely miss his kick and allow Spain forward Vitolo to roll the ball into the vacant net.

Diego Costa was lucky not to see the a second yellow card after the hour mark for kicking a ball after the offsides whistle had blown.
