Italy fight back from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw with Brazil in their friendly at the Stade de Geneve in Switzerland.

Italy have come from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw with Brazil in their friendly at the Stade de Geneve in Switzerland.

Brazil took the lead in the 32nd minute when Fred casually placed a volley from close range past Gianluigi Buffon.

Their advantage was doubled four minutes before half time as Oscar capped a counter-attack by flicking the ball home.

However, Italy started their comeback on 53 minutes through Daniele De Rossi's clever backheel following a corner.

They then levelled three minutes later when Mario Balotelli curled in a spectacular 25-yard effort.
