Spain 1 Italy 1: Fabregas saves trophy holders as Azzurri prove tough nut to crack
Opener: Antonio Di Natale broke the deadlock

Andrea Pirlo saw a free-kick saved by Iker Casillas, who then denied Cassano and Claudio Marchisio, whose blistering volley would surely have gone in had it not been straight at the Real Madrid goalkeeper.

First-half injury-time saw both sides create their best chances of the period.
