Welcome to LIVE coverage of Ireland's final Euro 2012 match against Italy at Stadion Miejski in Poznan.

Yellow card John O'Shea for a foul on Balzaretti and a dangerous free-kick.

So Italy are through as it stands. A goal in Gdansk is OK, too. However, if it gets to 1-1 between Spain and Croatia, Italy need two more goals, and at 2-2 they are definitively out.

As it stands: Italy 5, Spain 5, Croatia 5, Ireland 0. Italy have the best goals scored from the Ita-Esp-Cro mini-league, while Spain beat Croatia on overall goal difference.

GOAL! Cassano for Italy! He gets a glancing header, Given makes half a save and Duff hooks it away from his position on the far post, but the ball has crossed the line and that is a good decision by the officials.

Cassano hits a long-range shot that Given fumbles and Italy will have a corner.

Di Natale takes the ball past Given on the right side of the Irish box and goes for goal from a tight angle... cleared off the line!

A good spell this for Italy. Wave after wave of attacks. Ireland stanfing firm though - much like they did in qualifying.

Here come Italy again with Di Natale running into the box... St Ledger boots it away...

Italy work it down the left again, but this time Balazaretti strays offside. Respite for Ireland.

Italy scream for a penalty as St Ledger blocks Di Natale's shot! Hit the shoulder... borderline but I don't think it was deliberate. Good run from Balzaretti to set that up.

Actually, that's not strictly true. Depends what you're doing, and where...

Ireland fans doing the Poznan - last time they played here, they waited until they scored. But why not? Who cares what Roy Keane says, there's no law against enjoying yourself.

Balzaretti literally rugby tackles McGeady - *literally* - and is obviously booked. He responds by adjusting his ponytail.

Cassano crosses low for Di Natale who gets a shot away but it is blocked by Dunne!

Duff's outswinging free-kick is met by St Ledger... headed over but he is penalised for a push on Chiellini.

Duff cuts inside from the left and takes on three players - he is pulled over by Marchisio and wins a free-kick.

McGeady finds Doyle, who attempts to cross for Keane but it is cut out. Italy might have gone from a back three to a back four, but they have been almost non-existent in defence! Constantly short of numbers...

Another cross is arrowed into the Italian box - St Ledger rises for it but again cannot make contact.

Here come Ireland from the break, it's three on three but McGeady takes a heavy touch! Poor, that was a real chance.

McGeady crosses from the right for Doyle who steals in front of his marker but cannot get on the end of the ball.

Pirlo peels off to the left and picks the ball up, to jeers... he plays a diagonal through-ball out for a goal kick, to cheers.
