Final of the Peace Cup

Final of the Peace Cup. After ending in a goalless stalemate, who excelled and who failed to impress.

Aston Villa and Juventus went to penalties on Sunday night with Villa sneaking the win from the spot, but who impressed on the pitch and who shouldn't have bothered making the trip.

Marc Albrighton, Aston Villa midfielder, a Player of the Tournament performance from the 19 year-old, running at the Juventus defence all night, making chance after chance.

Aston Villa's Spanish defender Carlos Cuellar, ensuring that the club will not miss the recently retired Martin Laursen, as he showed once again he is the leader of the defence alongside the ever improving Curtis Davies.

Veteran midfielder Mauro Camoranesi of Juventus, yet again he was tireless as he was everywhere on the pitch, whenever he was needed, he is one more candidate for the Player of the Tournament.

Felipe Melo of Juventus, he may have only just signed for Juve but he plays like a veteran in their midfield.

Aston Villa forward John Carew, had one long range attempt and that was about it as he let Juve's defence think they'd had a quiet night.

Juventus forward David Trezeguet, the Frenchman missed an easy chance that should have clinched the game for the Italians.
