    Candreva turns into trouble and Olsson is furious that the free kick has gone Italy’s way.
    34'
    Sweden have passed the opening half an hour without any particular problem. Indeed, the Swedes have put Buffon under slightly more pressure.
    33'
    Clever little ball into the box from Giaccherini has too much on it and is easy for Isaksson in the end.

    Kallstrom and Ekdal have been impressive so far. Keeping things tight in the midfield and creative going forward. De Rossi flagged offside.

    Good ball possession from Sweden but so difficult to break down this well drilled Italian midfield and defence. Using the flanks well and the latest cross is again dealt with.

    Ibrahimovic caught late by De Rossi and he gets a talking to but nothing more from Viktor Kasssai. In comes the free kick and Ibrahimovic heads wide but he was offside.
    26'
    No change for Ekdal against Candreva, who gets his body between the Swede and the ball before going to ground. Such a clever player.

    The Swedes drew 1-1 against the Republic of Ireland despite not having a single shot on target.
    23'
    A much better, brighter start from Sweden than in their opening match against Ireland. And it needs to be.

    Good work from Lindelof and Ekdal, whose cross is deflected behind for a Sweden corner. In it comes and headed clear by Pelle.
    20'
    Sweden under a fair amount of pressure and anywhere will do for Larsson, who hoofs it upfield.
    19'
    The ball breaks for Eder and is deflected wide before Isaksson is forced into an acrobatic clearance from the resultant cross. Italy looking dangerous.
    18'
    STAT: The Azzurri have only lost two of their 22 games at the group stage of the European Championship (W11, D9).
    17'
    Another dangerous ball whipped in by Kallstrom and it’s well held by Buffon. Olsson lets fly from left back but it’s over the bar.
    16'
    Kallstrom looks for the run of Guidetti but he comes short and misreads the intended ball, which goes out for a goal kick.
