Italy led Honduras 2-0 in the first half of their 2008 Olympic football match on Thursday.

The Italians dominated the first half, but only got the fruit after 41 minutes. Striker Sebastian Giovinco fired the ball from left corner of the box into the net.

They extended the lead to 2-0 four minutes later after Honduras defender Quiarol Arzu handed the ball in the box. Giuseppe Rossi coolly sent the ball to the right corner.
