Napoli and Aversa hosted one of the greatest "futsal classics" of the last decade, as Italy faced Spain in a double friendly game held in the middle of past December.
The Roberto Menichelli's team was able to stop the iberian power in the first match, thanks to two impressive goals scored by Vampeta and Patias, in answer to the Alemao and Aicardo seals.

The second game played in Aversa went to Spain: brazilian goals in the first half by Fernandao (Spain) and Fortino (Italy), spanish signatures in the second part through Ortiz and Torras (double for the Barcelona's crack). Below have a look at the italian roster for both games, and enjoy the first match highlights.
