2. Barella hits stunning 20-yard volley & Berardi penalty; De Ketelaere responds late on
3. Final between France and Spain takes place at 19:45 BST

Bye for now

That wasn't the worst way to spend a Sunday afternoon to be honest.

Even better is to come tonight. Spain play France in the Nations League final at 19:45 BST.

I'll be doing the live text on that one. See you then.

FULL-TIME

It's all over. Italy finish third in the Nations League. Belgium are fourth.

Into the final minute now. No chances in a good while.

England's reign of 'Nations League third-place play-off champions' is almost over.

Four minutes of stoppage time actually. It said three initially.

SUBSTITUTION

Italy bring off goalscorer Domenico Berardi for Lorenzo Insigne. And Federico Chiesa is replaced by Federico Bernardeschi.

INJURY TIME

I'd like to pretend this is really tense now, but it's the Nations League third-place play-off.

Three minutes of injury time.

This would go straight to penalties if Belgium score again. Kevin de Bruyne's cross is headed away.

SUBSTITUTION

Belgium bring on Brigthon's Leandro Trossard for Yannick Carrasco.

GOAL - Italy 2-1 Belgium

Thibaut Courtois catches Federico Chiesa's corner and throws it out to Kevin de Bruyne.

He runs forward and feeds youngster Charles de Ketelaere, who somehow squeezes his shot between the legs of Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Thibaut Courtois tries to start a Belgium counter from an Italy corner... and he succeeds.

Twenty players on Italy's half right now.

Italy have only had three shots in this half, and scored two of them.

Belgium have had seven shots since the break.

Saves in this game...

Gianluigi Donnarumma: 3

Thibaut Courtois: 3

Italy woodwork: 3

HITS THE WOODWORK

Belgium hit the woodwork for a third time. Yannick Carrasco has time and space with a first-time shot fom 20 yards. It's curling and leaves Gianluigi Donnarumma rooted to the spot but hits the post.

Belgium sub Kevin de Bruyne has a long-range shot saved.

Corner to Belgium. They need to score soon if the're going to have a chance of finishing third in this tourno.

Toby Alderweireld does almost get them back into it but his volley at the far side of the box from the corner is saved.

Federico Chiesa almost picks out a team-mate with a clipped ball into the box but it's headed away by Jan Vertonghen, who has had a really good game.

The ball almost breaks for Moise Kean in the box but it's just nicked away by Jan Vertonghen before he can shoot.

Kean fouls Vertonghen in the follow-through.

SUBSTITUTION

Some more subs. Ballon d'Or contender Jorginho and Bryan Cristante replace goalscorer Nicolo Barella and Lorenzo Pellegrini.
