35'
Pelle goes through Iniesta and Spain have a free-kick 35 yards from Buffon's goal.
34'
De Gea indeed may have been lucky there. He tripped Giaccherini as he tried to hack clear his initial half-save, and may well have been sent off if Chiellini hadn't swept the loose ball home.
33'
GOAL: Italy 1-0 Spain. Chiellini nets from close range after De Gea can only half keep out Eder's free-kick, and Giaccherini manages to flick the ball away from De Gea's boot.

Florenzi plays short for Giaccherini, but Bonucci is penalised for a challenge in the Italy area from the subsequent cross.
29'
Ramos almost hacks a De Sciglio cross from the left into his own goal. Pelle set up the chance with another towering header.
28'
Bonucci clears a quick break from Nolito down the left for a corner. From the set-piece, Iniesta shoots straight at Buffon.
27'
De Sciglio harries Juanfran down the left so much the Spain right-back is forced to pass back to Pigue in his own half.
26'
Pique hacks clear following a Pelle flick into the area. Morata is then caught by Parolo going for the ball. Referee Cakir has a word with the Italy midfielder.
24'

22'
Iniesta puts in a cross following the corner, Chiellini pulls Ramos' shirt in the box but Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir says 'no foul'.
21'
Silva puts in Morata, who wins Spain's first corner down the right.
20'
Spain unable to cope with the Italy wall in midfield - they need to use the wings and Alba and Juanfran.
19'
De Sciglio blocks from Fabregas on the edge of the box after a clever cut back from the left touchline by Nolito.
18'
Ramos lose the ball to Florenzi, but Italy are unable to make capital with the break as Chiellini tries to put in the wing-back in behind Alba.
17'
Morata fouls Chiellini near the halfway line - my, this is textbook Italy so far. Frustrate your opponents, stop them getting any fluency.
16'
Silva has a little kick at De Rossi - you'd expect it to be the other way round, surely?
15'
Morata urges his team-mates to press the Italy back three. Has Del Bosque got his tactics wrong? Players seem to not know how to cope with Italy's 3-4-3.
