Gianluigi Buffon saves Mutu's penalty shot (and the Italians) with his hand and then foot to preserve the draw against Romania.Christian Panucci (56)
Gianluigi Buffon once again proved why he is considered by many to be the best goalkeeper in the world as he saved Italia's Euro 2008 campaign with a late minute penalty save. Fiorentina's striker Adrian Mutu put the Romanian's ahead in the 55th minute, but a desperate Azzurri squad responded straight away with Christian Panucci's 56th minute goal. Romania now controls their own destiny, as a win over the Dutch on Tuesday will mean they go through to the knockout rounds.

The Netherlands continue to be the revelation of the tournament as their electric attacking play has lit up both of the World Cup 2006 finalists by a combined score of 7-1. Wesley Sneijder's stoppage time goal inspired the best call of the tournament to date by ESPN's Adrian Healey: "It's a Dutch oven and the French are TOAST!".
