Substitute Francesco Totti scored an injury-time penalty to stun Australia and guide 10-man Italy to to the quarter-finals of the World Cup with a 1-0 win.
With the game seemingly headed for extra-time, Blackburn Rovers defender Lucas Neill brought down Fabio Grosso inside the area and Spanish referee Luis Medina Cantalejo pointed to the spot.
Totti, who had been surprisingly excluded from the starting XI and had only entered the pitch 15 minutes earlier, coolly struck past goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer.
