The Spain fans are getting the oles out for every pass. It's going to be a long evening now for these Italy players.

You fear for Italy that this half is going to be death by a thousand passes now.

This is Italy's problem now. Even when they break the press of Spain, they don't have the numbers they need to hurt the visitors in attack. Jorginho breaks through and looks up to see... nobody.

Yeah, Ferran Torres is getting some treatment now off the pitch. Spain will be hoping that isn't serious. As will Manchester City.

This must be a bit of an injury. He was certainly grimacing. Ferran Torres won't get his hat-trick as he is replaced by Yeremi Pino.

Gavi gets some retribution for Torres by smashing into Jorginho.

Jorginho welcomes Ferran Torres back to the game by clattering him and sending him spinning to the turf.

The Man City man with the last laugh as it stands, though.

Yeah, after being elbowed in the face...

Ferran Torres is now level with Erling Braut Haaland as the leading scorer in this Nations League. They both have six.

Yeah, I'd say he was a striker now.

We go again.

I'd snap your hand off for another 45 minutes like the first.

Unsurprisingly, Italy have sent on Giorgio Chiellini to be the main man at the back. Forward Federico Bernardeschi is the man withdrawn.

Young lad has done well too, eh?

Even when it was still 11v11, Spain were the better side here.

They've been more composed, more compact and ruthless when it mattered. They've picked off the European champions.

Italy haven't helped themselves by missing big chances, booing their own keeper and losing their discipline at a key moment.

The goal is pretty much the last act of the half.

Spain in total control against a 10-man Italy stripped of their captain and defensive lynchpin Leonardo Bonucci.

Italy haven't lost in 37 matches and have never lost at the San Siro. I think that's about to change.

And now Cesar Azpilicueta is in the book for body checking Emerson. It's a proper semi-final this.

Spain will never have a better chance to win in Italy now.

This game had edge from the off. A red card was always in the offing.

Italy down to 10 men! And it is a key man gone too!

Leonardo Bonucci has already been booked for talking back to the ref. He adds to that by leading with his arm in an aerial challenge with Sergio Busquets and catching him with an elbow.

The Italians swarm the ref but it's a second yellow, followed by red.

More whistles and boos for Gianluigi Donnarumma under pressure from Ferran Torres. That's not going to help. He just about gets his pass away.

It's a fascinating game to watch. Just as it was at Euro 2020. Two teams with differing styles, going toe to toe.

End-to-end!

Italy are committed and Spain break into the spaces.

Pablo Sarabia has the ball on the left side of the box and opts for a low shot that Gianluigi Donnarumma saves. Should have crossed to a better placed team-mate.
