Italy 2 Republic of Ireland 0: Cassano and Balotelli send Azzurri into last eight
Curler: Daniele de Rossi has a shot on goal

O’Shea was quickest to react when Cassano found room on the right and his cross into the middle was put behind by the Sunderland defender.

And when Cassano played another intricate pass into the middle for Di Natale, it was Dunne who made the crucial block.

Sean St Ledger also made a vital block in front of Given’s goal to keep out a Cassano drive, with the Italians claiming a penalty which was rightly turned down by Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir.
