Italy 2-0 Republic of Ireland
  Antonio Cassano and Mario Balotelli scored to secure victory for the Azzurri which, combined

with Spain's win in Gdansk, put them in the last eight. Italy overcame the Republic of Ireland,

and a bout of nerves, to take their place in the UEFA EURO 2012 quarter-finals afterSpain

  The onus was on Italy, but it was Ireland who started with more urgency. Giovanni Trapattoni

had lamented the concession of early goals in both his side's losses, and the first opening fell

to Kevin Doyle within ten seconds of kick-off, though the forward was unable to get his shot

away. Ireland were looking lively, again cheered on by their huge travelling support, and Doyle

had a header blocked as they sought a tangible return from their early adventure.

  However, Italy soon shook off their early hesitancy and – crucially – began to get Cassano

into the game. It took Sean St Ledger's sturdy torso to block the No10's goalbound shot before

he released Antonio Di Natale, who skipped round Shay Given only to see his effort from an acute

angle cleared by the same Ireland defender.micro headset|earpiece|micro headsets|earpieces

  At half-time, with Croatia and Spain goalless, Italy were going through as group winners. They

also nearly doubled their lead on the resumption when some neat interplay between Federico

Balzaretti and Cassano left the latter in on goal, only for Richard Dunne to get across and

block the shot. Ireland were not done just yet, though, and their ploy of getting wide and

supplying crosses always looked like it could produce something.

  Much like in the Croatia game, Italy were falling back, their cause not aided by the loss of

Giorgio Chiellini to injury before the hour. Cassano had also been replaced and the pressure

built on the Azzurri goal. St Ledger headed over and Gianluigi Buffon beat away Keith Andrews'

low drive as Ireland piled forward, preying on Italian nerves.marked cards|poker analyzer|uv

  However, as news drifted through of Spain's goal, Italy relaxed and were seeing out the last

few minutes comfortably enough, especially after Andrews was dismissed for a second bookable

offence. Balotelli then made things certain, in Poznan at least, when he converted Alessandro

Diamanti's corner in the 90th minute. While Ireland go home with three losses from their first

EURO appearance since 1988, unbeaten Italy survive to play another day.
