Italy capitalised on a disastrous
night for Uruguay defender Jose Gimenez
as they strolled to a 3-0 friendly victory on Wednesday. The Atletico Madrid defender scored a strange
own goal just seven minutes into the contest in Nice and then, after Eder's late strike doubled Italy's
lead, Gimenez gave away a stoppage-time penalty to allow Daniele De Rossi to add a third.
Many a striker would have been
proud of Gimenez's seventh-minute finish, but unfortunately for the 22-year-old
he was trying to dispossess Andrea
Belotti when he sent the ball curling into the far corner of his own net.
Italy laboured to add to their
lead, but after Eder's 82nd-minute goal made sure of the win, Gimenez brought down
Stephan El Shaarawy in the area to
complete a miserable evening.
