It's goalless at the break between Italy and Austria. It was a game of few clear-cut chances, but the best fell to Immobile with a long-range effort that bounced off the post. Spinazzola curled an effort wide, while Barella also saw a low shot well-saved by Bachmann. Austria's only chance at the other end was for Arnautovic, but he fired it high over the bar. 45' + 2' HALF-TIME: ITALY 0-0 AUSTRIA.
It loops towards the far, top corner and Bachmann is wrong-footed and left watching it as it bounces off the outside of the far post. 30' Verratti is brought down by Laimer on the left and he catches Austria out by taking the free-kick quickly to Insigne. He has three to aim for in the middle, but it's a poor cross from him that's over everyone.
He curls his effort towards the far post from the edge of the box, but it's always going wide. 71' Jorginho spots Immobile making another run off the back of Hinteregger through the middle and tries to pick him out with a long ball over the top. It's overhit though and Bachmann comes off his line to collect it. 69' Some sloppiness has just crept into Italy's play now and they're struggling to push high upfield. All of their play is in front of Austria at the moment and their frustration is starting to show. 67' Barella is the other player to make way, with Pessina on to replace him. 67' There's a double change for Italy now, and Verratti is the first to make way for Locatelli. 67' CLOSE! Austria are on the attack again after that disallowed goal and Sabitzer tries to beat Donnarumma with another long-range shot.
Sabitzer is in a pocket of space just outside the box and drills a long-range shot on goal, but Bonucci's deflection takes it just wide of the far post. 60' Barella gets the better of Alaba down the right and makes a good run down the wing for Italy. Immobile and Insigne are both waiting in the box, but he runs the ball out of play before he can put in a cross. 58' It's a great run from Lainer down the right, but none of his team-mates are hurrying to get up in support of him. He plays an early, hopeful cross into the box, but it's easily dealt with by Acerbi. 56' Jorginho slots it through for Insigne, who has a lot of space on the left.
He tries to play it across the box for Berardi but doesn't get enough on it and Alaba gets back to make an important interception. 54' Italy have only won two of their last 11 European Championship fixtures when drawing at half-time (D7 L2). 52' CLOSE! Alaba is standing over the free-kick just outside the box and he lifts his effort over the wall as he curls it towards the top corner. There's not enough dip on it though and it's just over the bar.
45' Insigne plays another good switch of play out to Berardi on the right, but he still can't find a way in behind Alaba. He knocks it through to Barella, who plays a one-two with Immobile, but they still can't get in on goal. 43' SAVE! Spinazzola cuts inside from the left and decides to have a go from range when he can't find a way into the box. He drills a low effort towards the near post, and Bachmann gets down well to push it out for a corner.
109' Di Lorenzo picks up the ball deep in his own half and he carries the ball all the way into the final third in Austria's half. No one else can keep up with him and he tests his luck from a tight angle, only to fire it well wide. 108' Another change for Italy now as well, with Cristante coming on in place of Insigne.
51' Barella isn't happy with the free-kick that was given to Austria as he felt Italy should've had one of their own, and he's booked for dissent. G. Di Lorenzo Yellow Card 50' Di Lorenzo catches Baumgartner with a high tackle on the edge of the box and has his name taken by the referee. 49' It's a poor touch from Bonucci that lets Arnautovic in behind and he drives into the box. He catches out Di Lorenzo with some clever footwork and cuts inside but loses his balance as he hits the shot and slices it wide. 48' Berardi is one-on-one with Alaba down the right and he wrongfoots the defender with a bit of skill to pull into space.
2-0 Italy! 104' GREAT SAVE! Insigne is standing over a free-kick, and he goes for goal despite being a long way out. He curls his effort over the wall and it's sneaking in at the top corner until Bachmann pushes it away with a strong hand. M. Hinteregger Yellow Card 103' Hinteregger sticks out a leg to trip Belotti and stop his run, which earns him a yellow card. 101' Chiesa's goal is the first that Italy have ever scored in extra time at the European Championship, in their eighth game that's gone to ET in the competition. 99' Schlager makes a great run through the middle before being blocked off by Bonucci, but Austria manage to keep hold of the ball. They work it out to Lainer on the right, but it's a wild effort from him that flies high over the bar.
He drills a low cross to the near post, but Dragovic throws himself in front of it to make a block. 46' Italy get us back underway for the second half! Italy saw more of the ball, but they've really struggled to break Austria down at times. They've had a lot of half-chances, but Mancini will want to see them test Bachmann a lot more after the break. Austria looked defensively solid, but they'll need to take more risks if they want to cause an upset and end Italy's run of 1100 minutes without conceding.
42' Still, Italy dominate possession here, but they're still struggling to break down Austria and get into the final third. Austria are frustrating them though and not giving them any time on the ball. 40' Bonucci hooks a long ball forward and Insigne brings it down near the byline. He was well offside, but Italy continue to try and work it into the box before the flag belatedly goes up. 38' Donnarumma accidentally crashed into Baumgartner as he came off his line to collect the ball and the forward has stayed down holding his neck.
28' It's a rare chance for Austria to break on the counter as Laimer manages to wriggle away from Jorginho, and it's three on two for Austria. It's a poor ball through to Baumgartner to his right though and Bonucci makes an important interception. 26' Barella plays a looping pass forward on the turn and he just manages to pick out Immobile's run. It's a poor touch from him to bring it down though which gives the defenders a chance to get back and block his way to goal. 24' Insigne can't find any space down the left, so he switches it out to Barella on the opposite flank.
Can you compare life in Milan, Italy and Vienna, Austria?
Immobile hit the post in the first half, Arnautovic had a goal ruled out in the second, but the game came to life in extra time. Just five minutes in, Chiesa broke the deadlock as he volleyed in from a tight angle and the other substitute Pessina added a second on the stroke of half-time. Austria kept fighting and pulled one back with Kalajdzic's header from a corner, but it wasn't enough in the end.

He receives treatment, but is quickly back to his feet and will be able to carry on. 36' Arnautovic skips out of trouble as he's closed down by two Italian defenders before pulling it back to Schlager on the edge of the box. He swings a cross in first time, but it's too high for Baumgartner, and Donnarumma collects. 34' Berardi just flicks on Bonucci's pass to Immobile and he tries to catch out Austria's defence by having another early shot on goal. He has Hinteregger tight to him though and the defender is in the right place to block it. 32' OFF THE POST! Immobile turns and finds himself in a pocket of space just outside the box, so has a go from distance.
