England and Italy shared the spoils in what was a rematch of last year's UEFA Euro finals. The two teams, who are drawn together in Group A3, went head-to-head in Wolverhampton and emerged goalless over the course of 90 minutes.

Italy coach Roberto Mancini opted to make 9 changes from the starting eleven that edged Hungary 2-1 on June 8th. However, the changes didn't seem to affect Italy's cohesive play as they came agonizingly close to opening the scoring in the third minute.
