Spain have edged out Italy by penalties to book a dream date with host nation, Brazil at the Confederations Cup final on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The second semi-final of the tournament in Fortaleza had ended goalless after 120 minutes. It thus went into penalty shootout, which Spain clinched 7-6.<\/p>\n

All of the first 10 players to step up to the spot scored, leaving it down to sudden death, and it was Leonardo Bonucci who was first to miss at 6-6 all before substitute Jesus Navas dispatched the winning kick beyond the reach of Gianluigi Buffon.<\/p>\n

The final, against the tournament hosts, will be in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday.<\/p>\n
