導語：馬爾基西奧和巴洛特利的進球幫助普蘭德利的球隊在首場對陣英格蘭的比賽中全取三分。

 

Italy made the perfect start to their World Cup campaign, beating Group D rivals England 2-1 in Manaus on Saturday.

據外媒goal.com網站6月15日報道，意大利隊的世界杯之旅取得夢幻開局，在周六的比賽中2：1擊敗小組勁敵英格蘭隊。

Labelled as the 'rumble in jungle' heading into the match, Italy continued their domination over England thanks to goals from Claudio Marchisio and Mario Balotelli at the Arena Amazonia.

在被譽為“死亡之組”的對決中，意大利隊通過馬爾基西奧和巴洛特利的進球延續(xù)了對英格蘭隊的勝利。

Daniel Sturridge had England on level terms at half-time, after cancelling out Marchisio's 35th-minute opener within two minutes.

上半場第35分鐘，意大利隊的馬爾基西奧首先破門，不過僅過了2分鐘，英格蘭隊的斯圖里奇就幫助本隊扳平了比分。

But Balotelli repaid the faith shown in him by coach Cesare Prandelli, popping up to head home the winner five minutes after the break as England were left with just two wins in their past 12 international meetings against Italy.

但隨后巴洛特利就通過進球回饋了主教練普蘭德利對自己的信任，也使意大利在近期對陣英格蘭的12場國際比賽中取得了10場勝利。

The Azzurri are back in action against Costa Rica on Friday, while England face Uruguay a day earlier.

藍衣軍團將在下周五對陣哥斯達黎加，而英格蘭則將在下周四與烏拉圭死磕。

Although, as far as chances were concerned inside the opening 20 minutes, both sides were limited to long-range efforts, with Sterling, Jordan Henderson and Antonio Candreva trying their luck from distance.

開場20分鐘，雙方并沒有太多射門良機，只有斯特拉、亨德森以及坎德雷瓦等嘗試了幾腳遠射。

England did come close to breaking the deadlock in the 23rd minute, albeit fortuitously, when Danny Welbeck's low pass across the penalty area deflected off Andrea Barzagli and just narrowly wide of the far post with Sturridge lurking.

第23分鐘英格蘭隊險些打破僵局。維爾貝克將球傳至禁區(qū)，巴爾扎利搶在斯圖里奇前面將球解圍。

However, it was Italy who opened the scoring courtesy of Marchisio 11 minutes before the half-time interval after a well-executed short corner.

Candreva passed to Andrea Pirlo on the edge of the box and the veteran midfielder let the ball run through to Marchisio, who fired a low shot past goalkeeper Joe Hart from 25 yards.

離中場休息還有11分鐘時，意大利隊的坎德雷瓦將球傳給皮爾洛，皮爾洛輕輕一漏，漏給了身后的馬爾基西奧，后者25碼開外拔腳怒射，攻破了喬哈特的十指關。

The Italian's lead was short-lived as their lack of pace in defence was exposed two minutes later.

After a swift counter-attacking move, Wayne Rooney was freed on the left and delivered an inch-perfect cross for Sturridge to convert on the half volley.

但意大利隊的領先僅維持了2分鐘。在一次迅速的防守反擊中，魯尼左路擺脫防守后，將球準確傳給了后面插上的斯圖里奇，后者凌空推射扳平比分。

England and Italy went into the break on level terms but it took the four-time world champions just five minutes of the second half to restore their lead, this time thanks to Balotelli.

雙方1：1平進入中場休息，但下半場開始5分鐘，巴洛特利就幫助意大利隊再次取得了領先。

Candreva was in the thick of the action again, beating Leighton Baines to pick out Balotelli at the back post and the AC Milan striker leapt highest to nod home his first international goal since October last year.

坎德雷瓦突破巴恩斯的防守，找到了后點的巴洛特利，AC米蘭前鋒高高躍起打入了他自去年10月以來的首個國際比賽進球。

Rooney had a great chance to restore parity and net his first World Cup goal, however, he fluffed his lines inside the penalty area on the hour-mark.

比賽第60分鐘時，魯尼本有機會打進自己首個世界杯進球，扳平比分，但他的射門稍稍偏出。

Hodgson introduced midfield trio Ross Barkley, Jack Wilshere and Adam Lallana in search of an equaliser but it was Italy that came closest to a late goal with Pirlo hitting the crossbar with a free-kick in stoppage time, as they emerged triumphant in just their second World Cup clash against England.

霍奇森隨后派上巴克利、威爾謝爾和拉拉納，試圖爭得平局，但反倒是意大利隊的皮爾洛在傷停補時階段險些再次破門，他主罰的任意球擊中了橫梁。最終意大利隊在與英格蘭隊的世界杯第二次碰面中取得完勝。
