• 118

  France are still looking to push forward, but the ten men are too tired to build a dangerous attack.

• 115

  Grosso surges down the left, cuts inside and looks to pick out Iaquinta on the edge of the box. His pass is awful and France clear the danger.

  Italy surely have to push forward in search of a winner now.

• 111

  Malouda is booked for dissent. He shouldn't be arguing though, as Zidane fully deserved his red card.

• 102

  Zidane tries to pick out Trezeguet with a cross from deep. Buffon is off his line quickly to cut out the ball.

• 100

  That was Ribery's final contribution, as Domenech opts to replace him with David Trezeguet.

• 99

  Ribery plays a one-two with Malouda on the edge of the Italian area and finds himself with a great chance, but he drags his shot wide of Buffon's goal.

  Henry picks the ball up in his own half and sets off on another powerful run, but his pass to Ribery is cut out by Materazzi.

• 95

  Malouda attempts to surge in to the Italian box, but strong defending from Gattuso stops him in his tracks.

• 91

  France get the first period of extra-time underway.

• 90

• 76

  Diarra fouls Iaquinta 30 yards from the French goal, then compounds the offence by arguing with the referee and is yellow carded for dissent.

• 75

  Camoranesi is harshly ruled to have fouled Abidal on the left wing, deep in Italian territory. Zidane's free-kick is too high for Malouda to reach and goes out for a goal-kick.

• 73

  Toni turns and shoots in the area, but Barthez gets down well to save. The effort would not have counted anyway, as the Italian striker handled the ball before shooting.

• 71

  Abidal goes for goal from 35 yards. There are plenty of players in this game who can score from that distance, but he isn't one of them.

• 57

  Zidane tries his luck from the edge of the box, but his effort is blocked. Domenech's men are in total control at the minute.

• 56

  A blow for the French as Vieira is forced off because of a hamstring injury. Alou Diarra is the man to replace him.

• 54

  Great stuff from Malouda on the left wing, as he beats four Italian defenders and fires over a cross. Unfortunately the ball is just behind Ribery and the Italians are able to clear.

• 53

  Ribery surges down the right and lays the ball off to Zidane. The old master sends Malouda racing through on goal, but Zambrotta gets back to make a crucial tackle.

• 42

  Fabien Barthez comes off his line quickly to beat Perrotta to a chipped ball in to the area.

• 39

  Zidane attempts to jink his way through midfield but his run is halted by a crunching challenge from Materazzi. After a nervous first ten minutes the Italy centre-back has been outstanding.

• 37

  Cannavaro makes a well-timed challenge in his own area to prevent Henry getting a shot away. William Gallas flicks the resulting corner across the six-yard box, but no Frenchman can get on the end of it.

• 36

  Pirlo floats over another dangerous corner. This time Toni rises to meet it and plants a firm header against the crossbar.

• 35

• 33

  Perrotta is down injured, causing a break in play.

• 31

  It's been an excellent start. Both sides appear committed to playing attacking football and this has the makings of a classic final.

• 21

  France almost hit back straight away, but Henry is pulled up for a foul on Zambrotta as he chases a ball in to the Italian area.

• 19

  ITALY 1-1 FRANCE Pirlo curls over a corner and MATERAZZI rises above Vieira to power home a header.

  Grosso, Simone Perrotta and Luca Toni link-up well on the left wing, but the full-back slices his attempted cross out for a goal kick.

• 14

  Eric Abidal is penalised for foot up on the edge of the French area. Andrea Pirlo curls over a dangerous free-kick and Lilian Thuram has to head behind for a corner. The flag kick comes to nothing.
