    Italy 1-0 Switzerland

    Ciro Immobile is onside as he darts to collect the ball and cross from the byline. Yann Sommer has to palm the delivery away.

    Relentless.

    Italy 1-0 Switzerland

    This is a better one but a Swiss head is first to it to head away before Breel Embolo completes the clearance.

    Oh, hey, guess what? Italy have the ball again and are on the attack.

    Lorenzo Insigne takes the corner, which Yann Sommer is able to punch well away.

    Italy come again, though, and win another corner.

    Wow, the Italians work hard. They track back in numbers to nick the ball off the Swiss and set off on another attack that brings them a corner.

    Italy 1-0 Switzerland

    Oh, almost 2-0. Italy charge forward again, this time through full-back Leonardo Spinazzola, who takes on his man and then pokes a shot wide of the far post.

    He's got some engine on him has the Roma player.

    The corner is swung in very deep and Italy gather possession. They immediately set off on an attack that ultimately fizzles out.

    This is great.

    Shaun: Is anyone else finding it hard to believe it's really Italy that's playing such stylish and attacking football?

    Switzerland's first opening for a long time. They work it wide for Ricardo Rodriguez but his low cross is deflected behind by an Italian defender.

    At 23 years, 159 days old, Manuel Locatelli is the youngest goal scorer at Euro 2020 and the youngest for Italy in the Euros since June 2012 - Mario Balotelli (21y 321d).

    It is very brave from Italy but effective. They are very well drilled and everyone is buying into their tactics.

    Switzerland are just not switching play quick enough.

    A header almost off the line by Manuel Akanji as Italy come again and Lorenzo Insigne attempts to chip in from an angle.

    The Swiss are clinging on.

    Switzerland boss Vladimir Petkovic is on his feet, barking out instructions. This is where you really earn your corn.

    The more you see of Italy, the more they convince you that they are a contender for this tournament.

    So much to like.

    That goal is only the second scored by Sassuolo midfield Manuel Locatelli for his country. His first came in qualifying against Bulgaria.

    He left Milan to join his current club as a teenager in 2018 - something he has admitted left him in tears. No tears now, though. Just joy.

    Locatelli may have finished it with a tap-in, but he started it with a wonderful volley pass out to the right side out to Berardi and he did some magic all by himself.

    It was a wonderful goal and no less than what Italy deserve.

    Remember that Italy had not conceded in nine matches before this. Good luck Switzerland.

    Manuel Locatelli

    This one counts!

    Manuel Locatelli starts and finishes a superb move and send the Italian fans into raptures.

    His superb ball out wide to Dimenico Berardi, who charges on and darts past his man before pulling a low cross back for the arriving Locatelli to finish.

    Brilliant.

    Italy will be hoping it's not something major that rules out Chiellini for the rest of this tournament.

    He may be ageing but his influence on this team is massive. He thought he had scored and within five minutes he is off the field.

    It gets worse for Giorgio Chiellini. He is having to depart the game. It looks like he has felt his hamstring.

    That is just a huge handful of salt in the wound.

    On comes Francesco Acerbi of Lazio, who didn't make his international bow until the age of 31.
