The Italians saved their strength in group 2 for the next games, because two goalless draws against Uruguay and Israel, as well as a meager 1-0 win over Sweden were enough to win the group. Uruguay finished second due to a one goal better goal difference against Sweden. A total of six goals were scored in this group, which is characterized by economic defensive football.
