    Turkey 0-3 Italy

    Turkey are crumbling, they really are. It's a dreadful kick out from the goalkeeper and Italy make Turkey pay once again. It's a really sloppy ball. Three quick passes from Italy and Insigne is incisive with the finish. He strolls onto the ball first time and he bends the ball beautifully into the far corner. It's a brilliant finish and he's been excellent all night. This is absolutely game over.

    Lorenzo Insigne

    Impressive stuff now from Italy!

    Lorenzo Insigne makes sure of no late drama as he gets on the scoresheet with a thumping effort after being teed up by Ciro Immobile.

    It took a while for Italy to break their opponents down but this has been some second half performance by Roberto Mancini's side.

    It is also the first time they have scored three goals in a game at a Euros finals!

    You can't wait until you're 2-0 with 20 minutes to go to start attacking. Although, if Turkey score soon....

    Turkey are going to go for it now aren't they. But Italy can counter, and the Italians love defending. Chiellini and Bonucci are warriors at the back.

    Ilyas Najib: Italy look the real deal. Turkey have been cooked.

    Greg Morter: Only a matter of time before Italy scored a second hopefully Turkey won't be on the end of a stuffing.

    A fair old slice of fortune about the first goal for Italy, but the lead was just reward for their dominance. Watch the opener above.

    Italy are absolutely flying now, Ciro Immobile's been waiting for that all game and he's worked his socks off for it. The keeper does really well but Immobile has done exactly what he's done for his whole career, poached and just stuck that away. He's put his team 2-0 up in this tie, absolutely brilliant.

    Turkey 0-2 Italy

    It must be frustrating for Turkey coach Senol Gunes. Twice he's made attacking changes and twice his side has conceded not long after those changes.

    In truth, they have never looked like getting something from this game. It was always going to be about whether Italy could take their chances. And they have now.

    Looks like game over. Immobile tucks the ball in. He's scored lots of goals in this stadium for Lazio.

    It's good play down the right hand side, the ball chipped into the far post from Berrardi. Spinazzola shapes to shoot with his left foot, hits the volley, and it's a smart save and Immobile reads the play. Hes on the move already and he's not going to miss that. He pokes the ball into the far corner.

    Looks like game, set and match tonight.

    Ciro Immobile

    Italy have a deserved second!

    Domenico Berardi is involved again as he plays the ball across the box for Leonardo Spinazzola, whose shot is a good one and blocked by Ugurcan Cakir but Ciro Immobile pounces on the loose ball.

    Italy are going to start Euro 2020 with a win, as well as extend their unbeaten run to 28 matches.

    Turkey can get one on the counter attack, need to put some pace at the Italian centre backs and start to tire them.

    Italy are trying to work as many attacks as they can down the right. Turkey are really struggling to deal with the threat that side of the pitch and Italy just keep coming at them.

    Neil Leverett: Spinazzola has been superb for Roma all term, and in his back yard tonight, the eyes of the world are applauding.

    Nathan Marzan: The nerves are gone now and you get the feeling Italy will go on and score more after that first goal.

    The game has really opened up now with Italy taking the lead. Poor play form Tufan in the middle of the park, gives the ball to Immobile who pops the ball out to the left hand side. Insigne is always trying to get back on his right foot. Got to say it's a terrific block from Demiral.

    Ugurcan Cakir gets down to push behind a Manuel Locatelli shot as Italy come forward again. Relentless stuff from Roberto Mancini's side at the moment.
