    FT: Italy 1-2 Spain

    Spain boss Luis Enrique has not always had an easy ride with the public or press back home. But this feels like a huge win in his tenure. His injury-hit squad have come to the European champions, ended their record unbeaten run and looked very, very good doing so.

    They also have a few young superstars coming through. The future is very bright.

    The free-kick is chipped into the box for the charging Manuel Locatelli, but Unai Simon is there first. Is that it?

    Italy 1-2 Spain

    There is a break in play as Moise Kean and Aymeric Laporte land heavily following an aerial challenge. It is an Italy free-kick midway inside the Spain half. Last chance saloon.

    Italy 1-2 Spain

    There are Italy players all over the shop. No structure, no plan, just trying to get through on raw adrenaline.

    The home fans roar as Italy continue to chase after the ball.

    Two minutes left.

    There's no sitting back and digging in by Spain. They are still looking for the killer blow.

    Bryan Gil almost finds it but is denied in the box by a belting tackle from Giovanni Di Lorenzo.

    Into added time. Five minutes of it. There's still time for Italy.

    Still time for another yellow, this time for a trip by Mikel Oyarzabal.

    Italy 1-2 Spain

    Spain are going to suck the life out of Italy. Keep ball. Not give the home side a sniff.

    A bit of gamesmanship won't hurt either. They take an age over a couple of corners.

    Italy 1-2 Spain

    Spain back to passing it around in the Italy half, but the chase from the home side is much more hasty and purposeful now.

    Italy 1-2 Spain

    Lots of boos from the home crowd now for Spain possession. They've woken up again. Their side are back in the hunt.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 85 mins

    Young Gavi departs with Sergi Roberto bringing a bit more experience to the Spain midfield.

    GOAL - Italy 1-2 Spainpublished at 83 mins

    Lorenzo Pellegrini

    Now then! Game on!

    Spain make a right mess of a corner, which Italy clear and Pau Torres dwells on recovering. He allows Federico Chiesa to steal the ball and drive forward unchallenged. He lays off to Lorenzo Pellegrini for a finish into the empty net.

    A cracking seven minutes coming up!

    Into the last 10 minutes. Italy's challenge is fading fast.

    Another yellow. This time for Manuel Locatelli for dragging down Yeremi Pino. Desperate.

    Yeremi Pino looks a player.
