    What about that! Incredible match!

    The Italian substitutions in extra-time were so much stronger. We thought Austria were dead and buried, but blimey they kept going and going and they got a goal back.

    Nervy last moments for Italy, but they got the job done.

    Credit to both teams for the energy and the quality that they showed in a very difficult extra time. We didn't see a way back for them at half-time in extra-time but to their credit they came back and fought and made it a nervy ending for the Italians. But the changes the Italians made won the game for them in the end.

    Huge celebrations from the Italian players on the pitch. Roberto Mancini is back to being cool again.

    He fist pumps the air before shaking the hands of the Austrian team.

    Sometimes in tournament football it doesn't have to be the best performance you just have to get over the line any which way you can. And the Italians have done it. It's not been the best performance, but it's those moments of quality that are going to get you through.

    Almost done and dusted. Federico Cheisa is played in behind, he chips the keeper but a defender gets back to clear it off the goalline!

    Scramble in the box! Cleared by Francesco Acerbi but only to Michael Gregoritsch. He drags it wide!

    Italy 2-1 Austria

    Andrea Belotti is dribbling it around in circles in the corner, trying to run the clock down.

    He does well to see off three players but eventually loses it.

    Austria have it with the keeper. Can they push for an equaliser??

    It's no more than they deserve, it really is. They kept going and kept going. It's a brilliant header. It's not the best ball in but he makes the most of it. He's nice and brave at the near post, there's nobody on the post. It's a terrific header from Kalajdzic. Five minutes!

    Oooof. Austria are almost in again! Gianluigi Donnarumma sprints out to gather it in.

    NERVY.

    Sasa Kalajdzic

    Italy have conceded!!! We're not done yet!!!

    The corner is whipped in towards the near post and Sasa Kalajdzic just flicks it on.

    Five minutes or so to go. Can they get another one?

    Italy 2-0 Austria

    Italy are not stopping either!

    David Alaba carries it down the left following the free-kick but Andrea Belotti has sprinted all the way back and slides in to make the tackle.

    It was right in front of Roberto Mancini. "Select me for the quarters, boss!"

    Konrad Laimer brings down Andrea Belotti. Free-kick for Italy just outside the box.

    Belotti will take it. He's going to have a go... Into the wall.

    What a chance!

    Michael Gregoritsch picks out Marcel Sabitzer in the box but he misses the volley.

    He has another chance but skies it over the bar!

    That was it.
