Should be 3-0. Simple as.
Yeremi Pino's superb low ball across the box is met by Marcos Alonso, who can ick his spot but sees his low shot saved. Bryan Gil follows up, but his effort is blocked this time by a defender.
Post update
Italy 0-2 Spain
Italy are still plugging away. Unai Simon isn't getting tested, though.
SUBSTITUTIONS
Italy 0-2 Spain
Here comes Tottenham's Bryan Gil - a late call up for the injured Marcos Llorente - on for Koke. And Mikel Merino gets some minutes, on for Pablo Sarabia.
Post update
Italy 0-2 Spain
For a moment, Italy have an overload down the right as they nick the ball in Spain's half, but a heavy pass ends the immediate threat.
They come again but an offside flag ends it for good.
Post update
Italy 0-2 Spain
Full-back Davide Calabria is on for Nicolo Barella.
It Italy are going to salvage this they need to act very fast.
Post update
Spain 0-2 Italy
More squaring up between the players. Yeremi Pino gets a yellow after it all. The referee suggests he has left a foot in on Manuel Locatelli. It looked more like a 50-50 to me. But the Italy players were again all over the official.
Post update
Italy 0-2 Spain
Spain with 82% possession in this second half. Feels like more.
Post update
Italy 0-2 Spain
Spain continue to patiently stroke the ball around in the Italy half, drawing boos from the home crowd. What do they expect?
Post update
Italy 0-2 Spain
Pablo Sarabia leaves a high boot in on Giorgio Chiellini and is booked.
Odds on another red card in this game?
Post update
Italy 0-2 Spain
Lorenzo Pellegrini, who has been scoring for fun at Jose Mourinho's Roma this season, is on for Jorginho. Roberto Mancini throwing everything he can at rescuing this.
Post update
Italy 0-2 Spain
Oh, so close to 3-0!
Yeremi Pino gets to the byline with some neat footwork before chipping a cross into the middle that Mikel Oyarzabal should head into the net but nods wide.
Post update
Italy 0-2 Spain
Sergio Busquets is not a popular man with the Italy players. Manuel Locatelli fouls him and he gets a few words yelled in his grill.
Post update
Italy 0-2 Spain
Italy's best moment is not really a moment at all as the flag is up against Federico Chiesa.
Initially, he thought he was away before smashing an angled shot against the post.
It has lifted the crowd at least.
Post update
Italy 0-2 Spain
Giorgio Chiellini isn't giving this up yet. He's rallying the troops. Moise Kean has certainly got the message as he chases Cesar Azpilicueta near the Spain box.
SUBSTITUTION
Italy 0-2 Spain
Moise Kean is on, as is Manuel Locatelli. Lorenzo Insigne and Marco Verratti depart.
Can't see it making much difference.
Post update
Italy 0-2 Spain
So easy. Mikel Oyarzabal is in again, looking for his third assist. His pull-back is poor, though, and a backtracking Italian defender tackles and clears.
Post update
Italy 0-2 Spain
Spain are probably the worst team in world football to be behind against with a man less.

Italy 0-2 Spain
Mikel Oyarzabal is set up for a shot that is deflected behind for a corner. There are more goals coming here for Spain.

Play is concentrated purely in the Italy half.
