With both Italian and Australian hearts in mouths, an injury-time penalty from substitute Francesco Totti took short-handed Italy past Australia and into the quarterfinals of the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
Italy will meet the winner of the Ukraine-Switzerland battle later today (3:00 pm ET).
The heavy favorite Italy (-240) avoided a regulation draw (+300) by just a few seconds after Fabio Grosso went down from a Lucas Neill challenge just before the final whistle.
