Kopunek's goal ended Italy's hopes


Kamil Kopunek hit the third for Slovakia in the 89th minute.

Slovakia took a quick, sharp throw from the right and Italy were just not quick enough to react.

Kopunek latched on to the ball and with keeper Federico Marchetti slow to leave his line, the Slovakian coolly lifted the ball over him and into the net.

The goal snuffed out Italy's dreams of staying in the World Cup.
