Confederations Cup: Italy 4-3 Japan
Italy fought back in a highly entertaining game to knock Japan out of the Confederations Cup while also progressing to the semi-finals of the competition.
22 minutes in, Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon received a poor back pass from AC Milan's Mattia De Sciglio which meant Shinji Okazaki was in on goal. Buffon slid in on the striker, was shown a yellow card and gave away a penalty. As normal, Keisuke Honda stepped up to take it and smashed it down the bottom right hand corner to give Japan the lead.
Man United's Shinji Kagawa scored the second, volleying in a Yasuyuki Konno's high ball which the Italian defence, somehow didn't clear.
5 minutes before half time, Andrea Pirlo whipped in a corner and Roma's Daniele De Rossi scored a bullet header from 6 yards out.
At the start of the 2nd half a good run from Emanuele Giaccherini ended in Schalke's Atsuto Uchida putting the ball in his own net.
Japanese captain Makoto Hasebe gave away a penalty after he blocked the shot and just touched his arm. Mario Balotelli dispatched it, sending the keeper the wrong way.
Japan midfielder Yasuhito EndÅ crossed in a free kick on the right hand side of the pitch and it met Okazaki who headed the ball in to equalize.
Juve's Giovinco tapped in fellow club team-mate Claudio Marchisio's cross to give Italy the lead at the 85th minute. The Azzuri concentrated and kept out Japan from equalizing.

City agree £17m fee for Sevilla's Navas
Manchester City have agreed a deal with Spanish side Sevilla for Spain international Jesus Navas, for a fee of £17 million plus add on's.
