    The match against Spain finished 0-0. England and Austria drew 3-3, so Italy leads the tournament with 4 pts to 2 for England and Spain and 1 for Austria. Italy's last match vs England takes place on Wednesday.

    Italy drew 1-1 with England in the final game of the tournament in Austria, which secured the title for the Azzurrini as the other game between Austria and Spain finished 2-2. Substitute Lorenz Bianchini scored Italy's goal, 12 minutes into the second half and England tied it on a PK with 10 minutes left. The foul which resulted in the PK also left Italy with just 10 men as Francesco Pambianchi was sent off. But the boys held out for the last 10 minutes and won the trophy.
