U20: Orsolini wins golden boot

By Football Italia staff

Riccardo Orsolini has won the Golden Boot as top scorer in the Under-20 World Cup after Italy got the bronze medal.

The Azzurrini had never previously gone beyond the quarter-finals in this competition, but beat Uruguay on penalties to secure third place today.

Milan's 17-year-old goalkeeper Alessandro Plizzari was the hero, parrying two spot-kicks.

England, who defeated Italy in the semi-final, went on to win the trophy by getting past Venezuela 1-0 with a late Adalberto Penaranda penalty saved.

Orsolini has more glory for the Nazionale, as the 20-year-old finished as top scorer in the World Cup on five goals.

He has already been snapped up by Juventus for next season from Ascoli.
