An early goal from Sebastián Fernández gave the Copa América champions Uruguay a 1-0 win over the Euro 2012 finalists Italy in a friendly in Rome on Tuesday.
The Malaga forward steered home his second international goal in the third minute to inflict a third defeat on the Italy coach, Cesare Prandelli, since taking charge after the 2010 World Cup.
The home team's best chances fell to Pablo Osvaldo and Mario Balotelli in a dominant spell before half‑time but the new attacking duo could not find a way past Fernando Muslera on the goalkeeper's return to Rome.
