120'

115'Italy have the ball in the net through Nocerino's header, but an offside flag sees that effort ruled out.

111'Balotelli smashes a free-kick high and wide of the target, much to his team-mates' frustration.

Italy start the second half of extra time. The final 15 minutes before it goes to a shoot-out.
105'Walcott and Johnson link up, but Walcott's chipped cross to the far post is just too high for Carroll.

HALF TIME
45'England get the second half started.
42'Rooney wastes a good chance on the break after Italy carelessly gave England the ball from their own free-kick. With men in the area, Rooney's cross is poor and the chance has gone.

38'Hart saves a flash-shot from Cassano. Italy ending the first half the stronger of the teams.
32'A good chance for Welbeck, as Rooney's back-heel sets him up for a shot from just outside the area but he lifts his effort over the bar.

29'Montolivo tries a long range shot, but drags it well wide of the target.
25'Balotelli manages to evade the attention of Lescott, but John Terry is there to cover his partner with a good block before Hart collects the ball.

03'Italy so unlucky not to take the lead as Daniele De Rossi's volley beats Hart only to come bouncing back off the post.
