Italy needed extra time to see off battling Austria at Wembley and set up a Euro 2020 quarter-final against Belgium or Portugal. Austria marked their first appearance in the knockout stage of the European Championship with a tireless performance to give their much-fancied opponents a scare. Austria pulled a goal back through Sasa Kalajdzic's brave header, the first goal Italy have conceded in 12 games, but the Azzurri's 31st match without defeat - a new national record - sees them march on. Austria produced a terrific defensive display to frustrate the four-time world champions, while creating opportunities of their own. Mancini has got Italy believing again - but they will have to play better than this if they are to win the next match and reach the semi-finals.
