channel4的半场新闻报道：
因为意大利中场缺停赛的德罗西，中场失势，双方互有攻守，但马里占优势。32分钟到36分钟马里围攻意大利禁区，32分钟费拉里禁区内犯规马里罚点球，但被佩利佐利扑出。上半场最后时刻费拉里将功补过，对方的射门已经穿越佩利佐利，但费拉里在门前6码处解围
Ivan Pelizzoli saved a penalty to keep Italy in the running for an Olympic medal against quarter-finalists Mali.
The Azzurrini only qualified for the knock-out round thanks to Japan's shock win over Ghana, so Coach Claudio Gentile had to take heed from that warning sign and make changes.
Some were forced upon him, as Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi was suspended, so he introduced Sampdoria's Marco Donadel and pushed the so far disappointing Andrea Pirlo further up the field for a more attack-minded line-up. Cesare Bovo also replaced Andrea Barzagli in central defence.
The Azzurrini went very close after just three minutes when a defensive error handed the ball to Alberto Gilardino from ten yards, but he only managed to toe-poke it past the far post.
Mali gradually increased the pressure, but the defence held out firm against Sissoko and Ndyae efforts. Gilardino was the danger man for Italy and the Africans reserved some special attention for the striker, Kone booked for a sliding challenge after he had already undergone treatment for a knock.
There was real danger on the half-hour mark, as Ivan Pelizzoli got down well to palm out Diallo's surprise angled drive that was heading for just inside the far post.
It was a warning, as on 32 minutes Matteo Ferrari tripped Traore in the box and the Paraguayan referee had no hesitation in pointing to the spot. Valencia man Sissoko stepped up, but Roma goalkeeper Pelizzoli proved decisive by parrying his penalty and the follow-up from Diallo.
When Italy did manage to get forward, Gilardino and Giampiero Pinzi were repeatedly caught offside, not always accurately.
But Mali were more dangerous and Pelizzoli required another desperate save to keep out Diallo's long-range drive, with help from Ferrari to clear the loose ball from six yards.
