Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of the Euro 2016 qualifier between Italy and Croatia from the Stadio Olimpico.

FULL TIME: Italy 1-1 Croatia. Thanks for joining us.

Like the earlier fireworks, this is fizzling out. Mandzukic goes down and receives treatment.

De Sciglio almost plays in El Shaarawy but again well shepherded by Vida.

Three added minutes here.

De Rossi plays in the free kick and it’s behind for a goal kick. Disappointing.

Rakitic looks for Kovacic but it’s a poor ball and Buffon has it. Should have shot himself.

GREAT CHANCE PERESIC! Played in by Rakitic and he fires it wide with his left foot.

Italy seemingly the more ambitious side entering the remaining five minutes. Croatia could have put it to bed by now.

Ambitious volley scuffed wide from El Shaarawy.

Croatia sub: Brozovic off for Badelj.

Perisic goes tumbling near the edge of the box. Nothing given. Italy counter and Candreva wins a corner.

Italy have not lost a competitive home match since 1999.

Candreva caught by Brozovic and this is another good chance for Italy now to play a dangerous ball in… Candreva drives it into the wall instead.

Vida fouled by Pelle and it’s getting feisty on the pitch as well as in the stands. Great play from Vida though.

Fantastic tempo about this game despite those mindless thugs trying to spoil things.

Another shot from El Shaarawy and it’s a fantastic headed block by Vida to save his side again.

Shot from El Shaarawy blocked by Srna! Italy picking up where they left off before the stoppage.

The players have re-emerged and we will continue this match.

The match is being suspended for a while but no abandonment as yet. If it was abandoned, the result would stand.
