Spain vs. Italy
Minute	Commentary

90'	SPAIN 1 - 1 ITALY Group C opened in fascinating fashion as Spain and Italy played out a 1-1 draw in Gdansk. The defending champions named a surprise starting XI featuring essentially six central midfielders, and it made for a blunt performance until the introduction of Fernando Torres and Jesus Navas in the second half. Italy will be extremely pleased with a display that saw them compete well in the possession stakes and carve out all of the best chances in the first hour of the game. Antonio Di Natale gave them a deserved lead after coming off the bench, only for Cesc Fabregas to reply within minutes. The changes for Spain opened the game right up, and Fernando Torres could easily have scored the winner late on. A draw was about the fairest result, but unless Spain work out a way to get some pace and goal-threat into their starting line-up then they could struggle to break teams down later in the tournament. For Italy, their back three worked well and if they can replicate this sort of performance then it's not beyond them to reach the final.
90'	FULL-TIME The final whistle goes as the spoils are shared in Gdansk.
90'	ALONSO SHOOTS WIDE Andres Iniesta and Xavi combine well to set up Xabi Alonso for a shot from distance, but the Real Madrid midfielder can't hit the target and screams in frustration.
89'	END-TO-END The game is absolutely superb now, and a lovely flowing move with Claudio Marchisio at its heart almost results in a goal for the midfielder, only for Iker Casillas to get his positioning right and make the save. Italy have been hugely impressive in this game and will be one to watch for the rest of the tournament on this evidence.
87'	NAVAS MAKES A DIFFERENCE Jesus Navas has injected some pace into Spain's build-up play, but this time his cross is cut out by the sprawling Gianluigi Buffon.
84'	TORRES SHOOTS OVER Fernando Torres has been a real threat since coming on and again finds himself running through with two defenders desperately trying to get back. A dummy sells both of them and he tries to lob Gianluigi Buffon, but can only find the roof of the net. Jesus Navas was open to his right, but you can't really fault Torres for having a go from there.
83'	YELLOW CARDS Fernando Torres and Alvaro Arbeloa both pick up bookings for clumsy challenges in the centre of the park. Both are deserved yellow cards.
82'	NO SUPPORT FOR TORRES Fernando Torres bursts away down the right. Cutting into the box he is forced to wait for support, and by the time it arrives the defence is able to cut out his pass.
82'	TIME FOR A WINNER The game has really opened up and both teams will fancy their chances of grabbing a winner.
79'	INTO THE WALL Fernando Torres wins a free-kick for Spain, but Xavi's effort from just outside of the box can't get over the wall.
76'	DI NATALE VOLLEYS WIDE A lovely cross by Sebastian Giovinco picks out the run of Antonio Di Natale off the back of the last defender, and the striker's stretched volley flies agonisingly wide of the far post. That would have been a truly special goal, but it remains 1-1.
74'	BUFFON TO THE RESCUE Torres also makes the perfect start! Slipped through in behind the defence, his first touch is a little heavy, but credit should go to Gianluigi Buffon who flew off his line and tackled the forward like a centre-back.
73'	HERE COMES TORRES Fernando Torres comes on for Cesc Fabregas and Spain now have a winger AND a striker on the pitch. Perish the thought!
70'	EVENLY BALANCED Germany and Portugal produced some moments of quality last night, but this game has probably seen the two best performances of the tournament so far. Cancelling each other out at times, it will be interesting to see how both teams' tactics work later in the tournament.
68'	FRUSTRATING BY PIRLO Italy work the ball well in the final third and get plenty of players into the box. However, Andrea Pirlo tries something overly clever as he flicks a pass around his man and Iker Casillas claims. The reaction of the Italian forwards says it all.
65'	CH-CH-CHANGES Both teams make changes as the game restarts. Jesus Navas replaces the man who created the goal, David Silva, as Vicente Del Bosque tries to inject some pace and creativity into the Spanish side. For Italy, Antonio Cassano is withdrawn and on comes the lively Sebastian Giovinco.
64'	MORE ON THAT GOAL! For the first time in the game Spain manage to work a proper chance from their link-up play, and Cesc Fabregas's finish beyond Gianluigi Buffon is emphatic after a delightful pass around the corner by David Silva. Game on!
63'	GOOOAAALLL!!! Italy's lead lasts just minutes as Cesc Fabregas equalises for Spain. 1-1!
60'	MORE ON THAT GOAL! Andrea Pirlo waltzed through midfield on his own before playing a lovely pass to send substitute Antonio Di Natale clean through on goal. Faced with the option of shooting or squaring to the unmarked Antonio Cassano, the veteran of the Italian front-line went for goal and found the bottom corner with a lovely finish. It's 1-0 to Italy and you have to say they deserve the lead. For all of Spain's approach play and half-chances, Italy have held their own for long periods and produced the best chances throughout.
60'	GOOOAAALLL!!! Antonio Di Natale puts Italy ahead with a clinical finish! 1-0!
58'	DE ROSSI ALERT TO THE DANGER A lovely through-ball almost finds David Silva, but Daniele De Rossi slides in to nick the ball and prevent the Spaniard from having a clean run on goal.
55'	ITALY MAKE A CHANGE Mario Balotelli's fluffed chance is his final contribution of the game as he is replaced by Antonio Di Natale. The prolific Di Natale will feel that he maybe should be starting in this team and has a definite point to prove.
53'	WHAT A WASTE! Mario Balotelli does brilliantly to shut down Sergio Ramos and win the ball. Moving into the box Italy have a two on one, but Balotelli takes an age to either shoot or play in Antonio Cassano and in the end does neither, allowing Ramos to get back and make a challenge. That was the best chance of the match so far, and Balotelli hangs his head.
52'	NOT AFRAID TO SHOOT It has been noticeable at the start of this half that Spain are much more willing to go for goal - a clear instruction from Vicente Del Bosque.
50'	GOAL-SAVING TOUCH Andres Iniesta bursts into the box and thunders a shot across Gianluigi Buffon. The ball may have been glancing wide anyway, but the keeper gets a fingertip to it to make sure.
49'	BUFFON EQAUL TO IT Xavi shows off his imperious talents for keeping the ball and finding space, and does superbly to work Cesc Fabregas into space. Cesc goes for goal, but Gianluigi Buffon makes a solid save.
46'	SECOND HALF Italy get the second half underway with both teams unchanged.
45'	HALF-TIME The whistle goes to end a fascinating but goalless first half. Spain's performance has been predictable - all very intricate but with little end product - while Italy will be reasonably happy with the way the first 45 minutes has gone.
45'	GREAT SAVE BY CASILLAS! Thiago Motta meets a cross with a deflected header across the keeper, but Iker Casillas is equal to it and parries the ball away. That is the closest we've come to a goal in this first half, and will probably be the last of the action.
43'	BEST CHANCE OF THE GAME Andres Iniesta is picked out as Spain counter, and after a brilliant first touch controls it, Iniesta goes for a spectacular attempted lob - sending his shot over the bar.
41'	FABREGAS GOES CLOSE David Silva plays in Cesc Fabregas, but the covering defence is good and the former Arsenal captain can't get a shot in to trouble Gianluigi Buffon. That pretty much sums up the first half - all very pretty, but with nothing to threaten finding the back of the net.
38'	THREADING THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE No team in the tournament can match Spain for intricate passing moves, but even David Silva, Xavi and Andres Iniesta can't manage to work a chance when faced with eight covering defenders in and around the D on this occasion. The move breaks down, and when the follow-up sees a cross clipped into the box there's nobody there with any height to cause the Italian defence problems.
36'	YELLOW CARD Mario Balotelli goes in late on Jordi Alba and picks up a booking for his troubles. With his record you'd worry for the Italian now - he's walking a tightrope.
35'	DECENT EFFORT ON GOAL Iker Casillas has little trouble in saving a Claudio Marchisio shot from distance, but once again it is encouraging for Italy that they are finding space in the final third.
33'	GLIMMER OF A CHANCE Antonio Cassano stings the palms of Iker Casillas with a shot from outside of the area, and the loose ball very nearly falls straight to Mario Balotelli. Frustrated by not being able to get on the end of it, the Man City forward brings down Gerard Pique in the following scramble and gives away a free-kick.
31'	LOOKED LIKE A FREE-KICK Xavi is clipped by Thiago Motta on the edge of the box, but the referee sees nothing wrong with it and waves play on. At the other end Iker Casillas goes walkabout and is saved by an Antonio Cassano challenge that does get picked up by the officials.
29'	COMFORTABLE SAVE The corner is worked over to Andres Iniesta again, but Gianluigi Buffon gets down well to save at his near post from the Barca man's shot.
28'	TRADEMARK INIESTA Andres Iniesta ghosts past his marker as even he's not there and bends in a cross that causes some panic in the Italy defence. However, there's only Xavi to get on the end of it and Giorgio Chiellini flicks the ball behind for a corner.
26'	MEXICAN WAVE The sight of a Mexican Wave working its way around the stands will tell you that in between the chances it's one for the purists in Gdansk. The football in the centre of the park has been excellent, but it's all so far from goal that you can't really blame the fans for getting restless.
24'	INIESTA DENIED A typically fleet-footed move in the final third from Spain works Andres Iniesta into space on the inside left, but his shot is blocked by Daniele De Rossi. Excellent in defence and effective on the ball, De Rossi is probably the stand-out player in the game so far.
21'	INCHES AWAY FROM AN OPENER! Iker Casillas is left sprawling as Antonio Cassano's shot drifts narrowly wide of the far post. Mario Balotelli was ready to pounce if the keeper had got a touch, and the chance came from another well-worked move down Italy's right.
17'	ITALY HOLDING THEIR OWN Italy aren't short of ball-playing midfielders in their side either, and Cesare Prandelli will be delighted with how his team have started this game. Competitive and far from out-classed in the centre of the park, they are starting to look for the front-two and seem to have the more obvious goal threat.
16'	MOTTA GOES DOWN Thiago Motta is writhing around inside the Spanish box, and replays show that he was caught by some trailing studs and is fully justified in needing a bit of the magic spray.
12'	SMART SAVE BY CASILLAS Mario Balotelli dummies the free-kick and leaves it to Pirlo, but the Spanish captain does well to get down low to his right and palm the ball away. It's a promising start for Italy, who are not camped inside their own half as many would be in the face of this Spanish midfield.
11'	DANGEROUS POSITION Gerard Pique lunges into a challenge on the edge of the box and gives away a free-kick in prime Andrea Pirlo territory.
10'	POOR FINAL SHOT Spain break and the ref does well to let play go on after a foul in the centre of the park. Cesc Fabregas and Xavi combine to get David Silva into space, but after cutting inside the City midfielder's shot dribbles harmlessly into the arms of Gianluigi Buffon.
9'	ANOTHER POOR DELIVERY Andrea Pirlo once again fails to beat the first man with his cross. The veteran is usually so strong at set-pieces and will need to do better if Italy are to exploit Spain's weakness in the air.
9'	WORTH A GO Mario Balotelli picks up the ball inside the Spain half and goes for goal from distance, seeing his effort deflected behind for a corner.
7'	THAT SUMS UP SPAIN Lovely intricate build-up play finds Xavi and David Silva handed two chances each to pull the trigger - both inside and outside of the box. However, they turn it down on all four occasions, looking to play in a team-mate, and Italy get enough men around the ball to snuff out the danger.
6'	A LITTLE TOO CLEVER Andrea Pirlo tries something different from a corner, looking to catch Spain out with an intricate routine after playing it short. However, the men in red are alive to the danger and clear.
5'	WASTED OPPORTUNITY Jordi Alba gives away a free-kick out on the touchline as he attempts to track back, but Andrea Pirlo wastes the chance to get the ball into the box as he fails to beat the first man with his cross.
2'	TOUGH TACKLING Daniele De Rossi sets out his stall early at the back, slamming into a tackle on Jordi Alba and forcing the ball behind for a corner. There's little height in the Spanish side, and the set-piece is cleared by Italy.
0'	KICK-OFF Spain get the game underway and it will surprise nobody that they keep the ball well for the opening moments of the game.
0'	ALL SET FOR KICK-OFF The teams have emerged in Gdansk and the anthems have been sung - both out of tune and out of time! With red and blue everywhere the eye can see it certainly looks the part - let's hope the game lives up to it.
0'	FASCINATING TEAM NEWS The team news is in, and there's plenty to talk about! Faced with the dilemma of which striker to start as the spearhead of his attack, Vincente del Bosque has come up with a unique solution – don't pick one! Rather than trying to put some variety into his team, the Spanish coach has opted to pick essentially six central midfielders, with Cesc Fabregas coming into a front three alongside Andres Iniesta and David Silva. It could be a master-stroke, with Italy having nobody to mark at the back and the midfielders constantly switching positions. However, if it doesn't work then it will be not just tedious to watch but also incredibly limited in attacking threat.
0'	A BLAST FROM THE PAST! Italy's line-up is just as fascinating. A five man midfield will support the expected forwards, while at the back Cesare Prandelli has opted for the three-man defence that was so popular in this season's Serie A. That means a return to the days of a sweeper, with Daniele De Rossi slotting back into the role. If nothing else, this game will be absolutely fascinating for all budding tacticians out there!
0'	THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE The referee for this game is Hungary's Viktor Kassai. One of the leading officials at the tournament, Kassai took charge of the 2010 World Cup semi-final between Germany and Spain, and also officiated as Barcelona beat Manchester United in the 2011 Champions League final.
0'	THE GROUND The Arena Gdansk is one of the most spectacular stadiums in the tournament, with its design influenced by the Allianz Arena but finished in gold. The venue will host one of the quarter-finals and three games in this group.
0'	ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN! Italy are an enigma going into the tournament. Predicted by many as a possible high-profile team to exit at the group stage, if Italy get it right the result could be spectacular. Not a solid defensive team as they have been in the past, Italy will use a host of classy midfielders – led by the irresistible Andrea Pirlo – to get the ball into a front two who have the potential to either sparkle or implode. When Mario Balotelli is less likely to produce headlines than his strike partner then you know you've got something special, although it will be interesting to see how Antonio Cassano performs after only recently returning to football after suffering a stroke in November.
0'	GROUP C With the Republic of Ireland and Croatia meeting later this evening in Poznan, today's first game sees the two favourites to progress from Group C get their first taste of action at Euro 2012. Spain are favourites to win the tournament as they go in search of an historic defence of the title, while a scandal at home threatens to overshadow Italy's campaign… just as it promised to do at the 2006 World Cup!
0'	PREVIEW We've seen goals, red cards and shock results so far in Euro 2012, and defending champions Spain haven't even played yet! The Spanish are looking to become the first team in history to win three consecutive major competitions after their triumphs at Euro 2008 and World Cup 2010, and start their campaign with the small matter of a game against Italy. Stay tuned for build-up, team news and live text commentary.
