  • 90'
    3 minutes added on.

de Países Bajos en el 88'
  • 88'
    GOAL! HOLLAND! AKE! 1-1! Berghuis swings in a delightful ball from the right and Ake has a simple header at the far post to open his account for his country and level the game.

  • 86'

    Elia is on for Babel for Holland.
  • 81'

  • 79'
    The ball breaks to Vilhena 25 yards out and he tries his luck first time but his low strike fizzes narrowly wide of the post. Perin was worried about that one though.
  • 78'

Yellow card

a Italia
  • 75'
    Chiesa is booked for kicking the ball away.
  • 74'

Card

Red card

a Italia
  • 69'
    RED CARD! CRISCITO! wijnaldum clips a ball over the top for Babel to run onto and Criscito appears to have it covered, but his sliding challenge is clumsy and he takes the man and not the ball, leading the referee to produce a straight red card. The offence took place right on the edge of the box and the Dutch will have a dangerous free-kick.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Italia en el 67'
  • 67'
    GOAL! ITALY! ZAZA! 1-0! The substitutes combine! Chiesa is sent racing away into space down the right and Zaza bundles home his low cross on the slide to open open the scoring. It may have been a clearance from Van Dijk that deflected off Zaza but the Azzurri won't mind.
  • 63'
    Italy make another change as Zaza replaces Belotti.
  • 61'
    Federico Chiesa replaces Simone Verde for the hosts.
  • 59'

  • 57'
    Insigne curls an effort well over the bar on the turn after a promising break.
  • 55'
    Janmaat crosses well from the right but it somehow fizzes all the way across goal without getting a vital touch. There has certainly been more urgency from the visitors in the second half here.
  • 52'
    CLOSE! Janmaat's cross is deflected up into the air by Criscito, forcing Perin to furiously backpeddle and ensure it lands on the roof of the net and not in the back of it.
  • 48'
    Bonaventura tries to feed Insigne but he has strayed a yard beyond the last man. Good decision from the officials.
  • 46'
    The hosts get us back underway here. Janmaat is on for Hateboer for the Dutch.
  • 45'
    HT: Italy 0-0 Holland. The hosts have been by far the better side, even having a goal disallowed, but the scores remain level at the break.
  • 45'
    1 minute added on.
  • 44'
    Vormer is booked for kicking the ball away after a foul is given against Depay.
  • 43'
    OFF THE LINE! Criscito meets Bonaventura's corner from the right and flicks a header towards the far corner, but Vormer is there to head it off the line! that's the closest we've come to an opener here.
  • 42'
    WHAT A CHANCE! Verdi is picked out over the top, beating the Dutch offside trap, but his first touch brings the ball too close to his body and his side-footed effort is tipped over the bar by Cillessen.
  • 38'
    A slightly better spell from the Dutch, but their pressure subsides as Vilhena's cross form the left sails out for a throw-in on the opposite flank.
  • 33'
    CHANCE! Insigne cushions the ball back for Verdi just inside the box but the forward blazes his left-footed effort over the bar and into the crowd first time. Another chance for the hosts!
  • 32'
    GREAT CHANCE! Insigne feeds Belotti with a wonderful ball and the Torino man has a clear sight of goal, but can only shoot straight at Jasper Cillessen from 12 yards. He should be scoring there.

a Países Bajos
  • 28'

  • 20'
    Criscito flies in with a firm but fair challenge on Hateboer out on the touchline.
  • 17'
    Insigne looks to latch onto a long ball over the top after getting the run on De Ligt but it has just too much on it and runs through to Cillessen.
  • 16'
    The hosts force a corner down the left but the ball in is poor and De Roon heads clear.
  • 14'
    Belotti looks to be in and he rounds cillessen but the flag goes up against him. The replays are unconvincing, he may have been hard done by there.
  • 10'
    Perin comes a long way to claim a long ball and collides with Domenico Criscito. The full-back comes off worse, but both will be able to continue.
  • 7'
    Italy are dominating the ball now, it's been a good start from the hosts.
  • 3'
    GOAL DISALLOWED! Italy think they have the lead and Belotti wheels away in celebration but VAR intervenes and disallows it for offside. Verdi clipped a free-kick in from the right and Cristante helped it on its way to Belotti to convert from six yards, but the Torino man is adjudged to have been offside.
  • 3'
