Italy 5-3 on pens. Trezeguet hits the bar. Grosso wins it. Zidane watched from the dressing room.
Italy won 5-3 on penalties in Berlin after Zidane's infamous headbutt on Marco Materazzi sent the France captain off in the 110th minute of his final professional game. David Trezeguet was Italy's villain, hitting the crossbar, as Fabio Grosso slotted the winning kick. Italy won the World Cup despite having been dominated for most of the 90 minutes — a match history will always remember for the headbutt rather than the penalty shootout or the scoreline.
