Italy cruise past Uruguay 3-0

AFP, NICE: Italy beat Uruguay for the first time in 27 years with a comfortable 3-0 success in Nice, France on Wednesday, as the South Americans' defender Jose Gimenez had a shocker.
While this victory will be no consolation for the Italians, who were eliminated from the 2014 World Cup at the group stage after a 1-0 defeat by the South Americans, it does offer Giampiero Ventura's team a timely boost ahead of their World Cup qualifier against Lichtenstein in Udine on Sunday.
With star strikers Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez injured, Uruguay suffer an early blow as Gimenez scored a bizarre own goal after just seven minutes.
