MATCH REPORT: Italy booked a place in the Euro 2020 semi finals with a magnificent 2-1 victory over Belgium in a high-calibre showdown in Munich - but who was their star man?
End of 2nd Half
90+7'
FT: Belgium 1-2 Italy. Barella and Insigne fire the Azzurri into the semi finals. Lukaku pulled one back from the spot but it's Mancini's men who will meet Spain in the last four at Wembley on Tuesday.
90+6'
All hands to the pump for Italy, Belgium overlap down the right but Chiellini is there to head clear. Italy are all-but there now as the resulting corner comes to nothing.
90+4'
Donnarumma calls for some treatment. That will waste a few more seconds. Italy are SO close now.
90+3'
Donnarumma comes for De Bruyne's re-take and flaps at it. The ball falls for Belgium, but the referee gives the Italians a free kick. Let off.

Five minutes added.

Time running out for Belgium. They continue to press but Italy are digging deep.
87'
More mesmerising foot work from Doku but Jorginho steps in at a crucial moment inside his own box to win the ball and bring Italy away.
86'
Will Insigne's wonder-strike prove decisive or will there be a late plot twist?
84'
CLOSE! Doku charges in from the left, jinks past a challenge but sizzles a shot from 22 yards out just over the top. He's been excellent tonight.

Spinazzola is almost in tears. His tournament could well be over.

Spinazzola pulls up charging down the wing. That's not good news for Italy. It looks like a muscle pull.

Lukaku looks to get a shot away from distance but it's well blocked and the ball runs harmlessly through to Donnarumma.
