    Daniela Sabatino has a chance immediately. She darts to the near post but can't get enough on the cross from the right and her effort drops to the Iceland keeper.

    Iceland have been really disciplined throughout the match and worked really hard for each other.

    The ball is not staying up top for Iceland at all. They're playing sloppy passes and it is allowing Italy to come at them.

    It's going to be Italy attack v Iceland defence for the remaining seven minutes.

    Sveindis Jane Jonsdottir is not happy. She feels Elena Linari has gone down way too easily to win a free-kick for Italy.

    Some frustration in that. Jonsdottir has barely had a kick all game.

    Into the final 10 minutes.

    Do we have a late twist? Italy continue to look the side most likely to nick it.

    The game is getting stretched now, both teams are trying to find ways to attack each other's box.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 78 mins

    Italy 1-1 Iceland

    Iceland recognise the need for reinforcements.

    Svava Gudmundsdottir is on for Sara Bjork Gunnarsdottir. An attacking change, presumably to hold the ball up and keep it away from their own goal.

    This Iceland defence is creaking now. Italy are finding space with regularity. Surely they're going to make one of these openings count.

    If not they'll be seriously kicking themselves.

    What a chance for Flaminia Simonetti.

    She connects with it pretty well, just unable to find that bottom corner.

    What. A. Chance!

    The ball is half cleared to Flaminia Simonetti, who can pick her spot but fires wide from inside the box.

    Inches in it!

    Italy have Iceland scrambling and cross to the left where Lisa Boattin sets up Barbara Bonansea to fire a low shot that Sandra Sigurdardottir tips on to the inside the post. The ball is met by an Icelandic boot to clear.

    The game plan has largely worked for Iceland but they need to have a bit more ball possession and play closer together.

    Another opportunity goes begging for Italy.

    Iceland fail to properly clear and the ball drops to Lucia Di Guglielmo on the edge of the box but she gets right under her effort and punts it over the bar.

    The Italian onslaught continues.

    Barbara Bonansea drives forward and fires a shot from range that diving Iceland keeper Sandra Sigurdardottir is right behind.

    A free-kick from deep from Lisa Boattin skips through the Iceland box without a touch. The Italian taker holds her arms out in frustration at her team-mates.

    The goal has not dampened the spirits of the Iceland drummer. They're still hammering out a defiant beat.

    We'll see if that goal gives Italy a bit more confidence going forward, a bit more belief.

    There was a VAR check after that goal to see if there was any issue, but it was swift and found nothing.

    Italy must fancy their chances of finding a winner in the remaining time here.

    They've been on top since conceding early in the game and have carved out enough chances to be out of sight already.

    Long 25 minutes for Iceland.

    Such an important goal, the fans are jumping up and down, even the bench are up.

    It's a wonderful finish, control with the instep from Valentina Bergamaschi.
