BUFFON SAVED THE DAY

Gianluigi Buffon - Italy's goalkeeper - saved the day literally! The match between Italy and Romania was tied 1-1 and the Azzuri had just conceded a penalty. Romanian goal scorer Adrian Mutu took the penalty which against all odds was saved by Buffon. The Italian rescued his team from outright disaster and kept them alive in the tournament. On the other hand Mutu apologized to his countrymen for his "miss".
