Welcome to The Independent's live coverage of today's final Group E games as the Republic of Ireland take on Italy and Sweden face Belgium.

  • Kick-off: 8.00pm
  • Preview: Italy vs Republic of Ireland
  • Preview: Sweden vs Belgium
  • Ireland will go through with a win, most likely as a best third placed team.
  • However, they can still finish second if Sweden beat Belgium and Ireland’s winning margin is at least two goals better than the Swedes’.
  • Anything other than victory will spell the end of the tournament for Martin O’Neill’s men. 
  • Italy are already through as group winners, regardless of the result.
  • Belgium only need a draw to guarantee second place. If they lose and the Republic of Ireland beat Italy, Belgium are out.
  • Sweden will go through with a win and would secure second, unless Ireland beat Italy by three goals or more.
  • Sweden are out if they lose. A Sweden draw combined with an Irish win would also see the Scandinavians go out.

Another awful free-kick from Ronaldo. He's been brilliant today but he has to stop taking those. An appalling ratio.

GOAL! Iceland 2 Austria 1 - Arnor Ingvi Traustason

DRAMA! A late late goal for Iceland! They counter attack in the dying seconds and regain the lead against Austria. They'll play England in the next round.

Italy 0 Ireland 0: It's been all Ireland so far. Not much in the final third though.

Italy 0 Ireland 0: Early corner for Italy, taken short but a dangerous cross is then whipped in. Duffy gets in though to head it out for a corner.

Italy 0 Ireland 0: OOOF. Jeff Hendrick goes close, firing a long range effort from outside the box that just flies wide of the post.

Italy 0 Ireland 0: Wes Hoolahan coming on for Ireland, McCarthy off. Meanwhile Insigne ghosts through the Ireland defence, curls a shot off and hits the POST! Oooh that was close.
