| Kakha Kaladze scored two calamitous own goals to hand stuttering
Italy a fortunate 2-0 win over Georgia in World Cup Group Eight
qualifying on Saturday.
The world champions had to rely on AC Milan defender Kaladze
to end a run of three games without a goal.
An extraordinary diving header from Angelo Palombo's ball into
the box gave Italy the lead on 56 minutes before Kaladze diverted
Domenico Criscito's cross into the net after trying to clear with
his wrong foot 11 minutes later.
Italy again lacked creativity in midfield but can take a big
step towards qualification in Wednesday's game with Bulgaria in
Turin.
