Francesco Bruni's Italian crew on Azzurra staged a demonstration of 'match racing made simple' when they completed a 2-0 victory over Emirates Team New Zealand to become the first winners of the Louis Vuitton Trophy in Nice.

Fresh from their emphatic defeat of Ben Ainslie's Team Origin, the Italians put in a flawless performance to drum the favoured Kiwis firmly out of contention in an early morning light airs contest in the Baie des Anges. 

In the first race, Azzurra went ahead on the first beat then simply covered the Kiwis for the rest of the race to complete the win by 25 seconds. Half an hour later they were back in action and immediately took control. 

They won the first cross which augured well. More than 80 per cent of first cross winners in this regatta have gone on to win and once again, Bruni opted to cover for the rest of the race and despite an attack from the Kiwis on the final run, ran out winners for the second time, this time by 17 seconds. 

The two wins in the best of three series handed the Italians a notable victory that few forecast when the regatta opened two weeks ago. Emirates New Zealand finished second and the Russian Synergy team third with Team Origin closing on fourth.
