Ukraine and Italy to clash in World Cup quarterfinals
Andriy Shevchenko will get the chance to put one over on several of his former colleagues when Ukraine face Italy in the quarter-finals of the World Cup after the two sides won tight second-round encounters on Monday.
Shevchenko missed the first kick of the penalty shootout against Switzerland but it was not costly as three Swiss players failed from the spot to send Ukraine into the last eight on their first appearance in the finals.
The match had ended 0-0 after extra time and the Swiss went out
despite not losing any of their four matches in normal time, and became the first team to go out without conceding a goal.

And Italy could be further strengthened for the Ukraine match with Alessandro Nesta working hard to return after missing the Australia match with a groin injury.
