World Cup LIVE!!! - Italy 1, France 1
Marco Materazzi headed a corner kick past France's goaltender to tie the World Cup final match at 1-1 in the 19th minute on Sunday. Andrea Pirlo's corner kick set up Materazzi just to the left of the goal. Materazzi's header just got past diving goalkeeper Fabien Barthez.
At the half, the score remained tied 1-1.
In the sixth minute, Zinedine Zidane scored on a penalty kick to give France a 1-0 lead.
Zidane faked the kick left and after the Italian goaltender dove, he softly kicked a shot that hit off the crossbar and barely bounced into the goal.
That penalty kick was set up by a foul against Materazzi.
It was the first goal that Italy has allowed in more than 460 minutes of World Cup play this year.
One minute into the game, France got some potentially bad news when Thierry Henry, one of the team's two biggest names, went down after taking an apparent elbow to his face. Henry stayed down for a couple minutes before getting help off the field.
Moments later he returned to the game.
