Toby Alderweireld almost brings Belgium back into this. Michy Batshuayi picks out the veteran defender, whose low shot is well saved by a diving Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Seconds earlier Donnarumma had dropped a simple catch.

Belgium have given away three penalties in the Uefa Nations League this season. Only Iceland (four) have conceded more.

Just after that goal, Italy replaced one young striker with another as Moise Kean - on his Juventus home ground - came on for Giacomo Raspadori.

Toby Alderweireld was booked for throwing the ball away.

VAR check over. Penalty decision stands.

Italy 1-0 Belgium

There's a VAR check. Did Timothy Castagne touch the ball first?

Federico Chiesa steps past Timothy Castagne, who brings him down on the corner of the box.

Referee says penalty.

Belgium have hit the bar once in each half now.

Out of nowhere, Belgium are so close to levelling as substitute Charles de Ketelaere feeds Michy Batshuayi, who leathers the ball off the crossbar from a tight-ish angle in the box.

Here comes Kevin de Bruyne. Your Tielemans is replaced.

It's a double sub as Charles de Ketelaere replaces Alexis Saelemaekers.

What a hit that was from Nicolo Barella for the goal.

Another Giovanni Di Lorenzo cross, this time it's punched clear by Thibaut Courtois.

Kevin de Bruyne is about to come on.

Italy right-back Giovanni di Lorenzo whips in a cross which is just behind a team-mate and in front of another.

Belgium just can't get out. Youri Tielemans has to throw himself onto the ground dramatically to get a free-kick after an Emerson shove and give them a breather.

It's Italy who are probing for a second goal at the moment. Twice in two minutes they get the final pass into the box wrong - but they look in a bit of control now.

Not sure the Nations League third-place play-off is make or break for anybody to be honest.
