While Rauno Sappinen grabbed a late constellation goal for the hosts, Italy come away with a crucial 3-1 win.


Spain continued to impress with a thoroughly dominant 2-0 victory over Georgia.


After a nervy match, Portugal claim all three points at the final whistle.

Having held the Portuguese at bay for 90 minutes, Ireland will come away incredibly disappointed with tonight's result.


FULL-TIME


GOAL FOR PORTUGAL

Rúben Neves scores a header in stoppage time to give Portugal their first lead of the match. Incredible!


GOAL FOR ITALY

20-year old Francesco Pio Esposito gets his first senior goal for the Azzuri, firing home a well-hit half-volley.


PENALTY MISSED

Cristiano Ronaldo puts his penalty straight down the middle and it's saved by Kelleher's outstretched leg!

What an evening it has been for goalkeepers!


GOAL FOR SPAIN

Mikel Oyarzabal fires a free-kick into the top-left corner. Mamardashvili had no chance!


Caoimhin Kelleher makes back-to-back diving saves to deny Rúben Neves and Vitinha.

After an hour gone, Portugal are still goalless against Ireland.


OFF THE POST

Georgia hold on for dear life after Spain hit the post twice in quick succession.


We're back underway in Spain and Portugal!


HALF-TIME


GOAL FOR ITALY

Retegui makes up for his missed penalty by doubling Italy's lead off an assist from Riccardo Orsolini.


ANOTHER PENALTY MISSED

Mateo Retegui's penalty is saved by a low, diving save from Karl Hein.


PENALTY MISSED

Ferran Torres misses a penalty on his 50th cap for Spain. After conceding the penalty, Giorgi Mamardashvili redeems himself with a strong save.


GOAL FOR SPAIN

Yeremy Pino taps in the opener off of Pedri's cross and Robin Le Normand's touch across the face of goal.


Following his early goal, Moise Kean has been substituted due to injury.


OFF THE POST

Cristiano Ronaldo hits the post with a low, left-footed strike from just outside the box.


GOAL FOR ITALY

Moise Kean scores inside five minutes with a stepover and an excellent right-footed finish.
