All Spain. A backheel sets substitute Marco Asensio on his way but he runs out of room and eventually dribbles the ball out for a goal kick.

How have Spain not scored?!?!

Rodri chips in a beautiful ball deep to Mikel Merino whose volley is somehow tipped into the air by Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Alvaro Morata meets the rebound on the spin, but can't wrap his foot around the ball and sees his effort crawl the wrong side of the far post.

Spain, who took just three minutes to score in the first half, start brightly again.

Yeremy Pino drives forward but his teasing pass is just behind Alvaro Morata.

Some half-time changes to tell you about. Marco Asensio replaces Rodrigo for Spain.

For Italy, Matteo Darmian and Federico Dimarco come on for skipper Leonardo Bonucci and Leonardo Spinazzola.

Peeeeep. We go again.

The players are trundling back out. The second half is moments away.

Some breaking news for you. Rudi Garcia has just been appointed as the new Napoli head coach.

The ex-Roma, Lille and Al Nassr boss replaces Luciano Spalletti who is taking a year out from football.

Spalletti guided Napoli to a first Serie A title in 33 years this season.

Spain have committed 11 fouls in this match, higher than their season average of 10.3 in the Nations League.

They've made this game niggly and to be honest, they probably finished the first half the stronger.

I'm a bit worried about the prospect of extra-time and penalties guys.

I've got to get an early night in before I head to Brum and watch England at Edgbaston.

Appreciate Italian and Spain fans might be feeling the nerves but I'm just as anxious. Hoping for a winner in 90 minutes.

Yeremy Pino's opener came after just 2:54. It's the fastest goal for Spain in the Nations League this season.

And we're done. An entertaining first-half comes to an end.

Jordi Alba gets a yellow for complaining. No idea what he's unhappy about.

One minute added on.

Oooooh!

Italy come upfield for the first time in a good while and nearly take the lead with a stunner.

The ball is headed clear to Atalanta captain Rafael Toloi who smashes a volley just beyond the top corner.

Think Paul Scholes against Aston Villa. Well, except this one didn't go in.

Intricate play ends with the ball fed into Alvaro Morata, but his shot is straight at Gianluigi Donnarumma in the Italian net.

Spain win a corner but it's easily headed away.

Finally they witch tactics, starting their patient build-up and playing keep-ball for the first time tonight. A throwback.

I regret to inform you a Mexican wave has just started.

And now Immobile is the first to go into the book, catching Aymeric Laporte with a late challenge.

Rinse and repeat for Italy as Ciro Immobile goes free down the right but can't find a teammate with his drilled pass across the face of goal.

And now Italy are trying some route one stuff.

Inter Milan's Nicolo Barella latches on to a ball over the top but can't feed in goalscorer Ciro Immobile.
