Italy put in a dominant performance as they beat the defending champions Spain 2-0 in Paris on Monday to reach the quarter-finals of Euro 2016. Antonio Conte's side took the lead in the 33rd minute through defender Giorgio Chiellini but they could have had more but for three superb saves from David de Gea. De Gea continued to deny Italy in the second half with the Manchester United goalkeeper stopping Eder and substitute Lorenzo Insigne.
Spain had a golden chance to equalise right at the death through Gerard Pique but Gianluigi Buffon was alert to the danger, making a brilliant save before Graziano Pelle's strike sealed victory in injury time. Italy will face current world champions Germany in the quarter-finals at the Stade de Bordeaux on July 2, while Spain, who lost a knockout game at European Championship for the first time since 2006, are eliminated.
