UEFA WOMEN'S EURO 2005™ contenders Italy and Finland drew their penultimate pre-finals warm-up game in Fiuggi.
Visitors hold on
The home side had the best of the play, but could not force their way past their tenacious visitors, who will be competing in the last eight of the tournament for the first time after, like Italy, qualifying through the play-offs.
Finals approach
Carolina Morace's Italy play their last friendly before travelling to England on 18 May against the Republic of Ireland in Venezia, prior to meeting France, holders Germany and Norway in Group B. Finland welcome Scotland to Turku on 20 May and open their finals campaign against the hosts in Manchester on 4 June, with Sweden and Denmark also in Group A.
