Bari, Italy - Italy had Giampaolo Pazzini sent off after three minutes as they drew 1-1 with visiting Ireland Wednesday in a Group 8 World Cup qualifier.
Vincenzo Iaquinta gave Italy an 11th-minute lead only for Irish captain Robbie Keane to equalize shortly before half-time.
There was much emotion at the rain-drenched San Nicola stadium where Giovanni Trapattoni was widely cheered on as he led the Irish squad against the Azzurri side he coached from 2000 to 2004.
