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.

Italy 0 Ireland 0: Ireland surely! NO. Oh no. Wes Hoolahan has a fantastic chance to give Ireland the lead. Italy mess up in defence and suddenly Ireland have a three on one. But Hoolahan hits it straight at the keeper. Was that there chance?

GOAL! Italy 0 Ireland 1 - Robbie BradyIRELAND LEAD! HOOLAHAN MAKES AMENDS. He whips in a cross and Robbie Brady leaps to put it past Sirigu. Ireland going through as it stands.
