It doesn't matter if its the 1st minute or the 90th minute. If you foul someone in the penalty box (and that WAS a foul) there is a penalty kick.
You can say it's unfair to Australia, but how would it be fair to Italy to get fouled in the box and not get a PK just because it was late in the game?
Australia had a man advantage for the last 40 minutes and still couldn't score.
Italy was the better team.

I don't disagree and i'm glad they called it BUT this WC Officiating has been HORRID and even the announcers have been SHOCKED by calls.
