93'FT: Italy 3-0 Switzerland!! All over in Rome and Italy are through to the last 16. They were far too good for the Swiss and Locatelli (2) and Immobile got the goals. The result was never in doubt, to be fair. Switzerland now must beat Turkey on the last day to stand a chance of progressing.

-
91'Three added minutes.
Goaaaaaal!

Back shortly!
