SOUTH AFRICA 5 : 8 ITALY

Andrea De Sanctis jumps out on the field scoring two back to back goals for Italy. He worked hard to get a hat trick just before stepping to sideline to catch a breather.

Italy's keeper Ibrahim Bakayoko had a great first half only letting one South African goal past him sending them to the break in the lead 6-1.

South Africa attacked Ibrahim as they attempted to close the gap but their efforts were not enough to reach the lead that Italy started in the first half. Italy takes third place in the City Cup with an 8-5 victory.
