Italy look to make it 10

Having impressed the watching continent in their opening win, Italy now take on local rivals Switzerland tonight at Rome's historic Stadio Olimpico.

The Azzurri were made to work for their opening win against Turkey, an own goal breaking the deadlock before Ciro Immobile and Lorenzo Insigne wrapped up an ultimately comfortable 3-0 victory.

That was Italy's ninth victory in a row, all with a clean sheet, and they will be looking to make it ten for only the second time in their history – the first having come in qualifying – against a Swiss side who were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against Wales.

While the Azzurri effectively need only a point to progress, their less illustrious neighbours are seeking their first win of Euro 2020, following a frustrating draw with Group A counterparts Wales.

On opening night, Italy lived up to both their pre-tournament billing and a stirring opening ceremony, as Roberto Mancini's men swept past a much-fancied Turkey side on home soil.

Czech Republic 2-0 Scotland, Patrik Schick’s second goal (49.7 yards) is the furthest distance from which a goal has been scored on record at the Euro (since 1980).

"We had a good game against Turkey. It was important to start well in Rome, and I think it is a satisfaction for everyone who is with us: for the fans and all Italians. It was a beautiful evening, so I hope there are many others like it. There is still a long way to go; we have to play six more games like this [to win the title], starting with the one against Switzerland," said Mancini.

Spain-0 Sweden-0, Sweden completed 89 passes, becoming the first team to complete less than 100 passes in a match since Opta has been analysing the Euro (1980) whereas Spain’s Aymeric Laporte, Jordi Alba, Pau Torres, Koke, Pedri and Marcos Llorente have all completed more. Spain had 85.1% of possession against Sweden, the highest figure in a single European Championship game ever (since 1980).
