All games being played in the Netherlands
Spain 1-1 Italy
Spain are now lumping the ball up to target man checks notes Gavi.
The Barcelona forward does his best Duncan Ferguson impression, wrestling his defender but eventually concedes a free-kick.
It's been an odd game. I don't think Spain have made a backward pass yet.
Spain 1-1 Italy
A lot to unpack from the opening 30 minutes. I reckon Italy have shaded it, but their second goal was rightly ruled out for offside.
Back to the action and Rodri makes a rare unsuccessful pass.
Spain 1-1 Italy
From a corner Spain have another small chance as Manchester City's Rodri heads over the bar.
Spain 1-1 Italy
Spain are playing super direct, this isn't like them at all!
Alvaro Morata finds half a yard and then it's shoot on sight. He drives a shot towards the bottom corner but Gianluigi Donnarumma makes a decent diving save to his right.
Spain 1-1 Italy
Can Spain build on this good fortune? Jesus Navas cuts in on to his left foot again but this time his curling cross is just too high for the leaping Gavi.
Italy are looking very tetchy.

Spain get lucky. Davide Frattesi times his run too early and is centre metres offside!
Spain 1-2 Italy
Hang on...
Davide Frattesi
What a pass from Jorginho. In the quarterback role he chips the ball over the top to Davide Frattesi who keeps a cool head and finishes brilliantly.

But they test the gloves of Gianluigi Donnarumma now as Rodrigo dribbles a shot straight at the PSG keeper.
Spain 1-1 Italy
Italy had just under 70% of possession across the opening 15 minutes. Spain have hardly had a sniff since they took the lead.
Spain 1-1 Italy
Spain's Gavi, 18, finds Jesus Navas, 37, who cuts in on to his left foot and curls a shot just over.
I reckon the cross was a better option. Spain had packed the six-yard box.
Spain 1-1 Italy
Midfield? What's a midfield?
I don't think any of us had Spain playing exclusively on the counter-attack on our bingo cards but there you go. Every time they get the ball it's head down and drive at the Italy defence.
Fast and thrilling stuff.
Spain 1-1 Italy
I tell you what, the Nations League is an odd tournament but it hosts some thrilling semi-finals.
What a start already.
Spain 1-1 Italy
Spain have conceded 2 goals in the first 15 minutes of the first half, only Gibraltar (3) and Switzerland (3) have conceded more in the Nations League this season.
Ciro Immobile
And we're back level.
Lazio's Ciro Immobile hammers the ball into the bottom corner, sending the keeper the wrong way.

Stonewall. Jorginho spots the run of Nicolo Zaniolo who fires a shot goalwards but his effort is blocked by the raised arm of Robin Le Normand.
Not the greatest start to his debut...
Spain 1-0 Italy
Italy come again but can't make the final pass work as Leonardo Spinazzola chips a cross over everyone, straight out for a goal kick.
Spain 1-0 Italy
Jeers as Italy pass the ball around midfield. Spain eventually win it back and get out of a dangerous position after good passing from Jordi Alba and Aymeric Laporte.
Spain 1-0 Italy
What now for Italy? They win a corner kick but can't make a short-corner routine work.
Spain 1-0 Italy
