7' - Switzerland 0-0 Italy
The game has started at a relaxed tempo and you can see already why many are predicting a cagey battle here.
There is enough creativity on this pitch for us to see plenty of goals, but perhaps both sides are seeing what the opposition has in store, with so much at stake today.

It's clear that Luciano Spalletti has been less that impressed with his side's displays so far at Euro 2024, and he has been bold today.
Some would say its exactly what England manager Gareth Southgate needs to do tomorrow, though I don't think we can expect half a dozen new faces for the Three Lions against Slovakia.
Spalletti has made two changes in midfield as Nicolo Fagioli and Bryan Cristante come in for Jorginho and Lorenzo Pellegrini.
The forced change at the back see Gianluca Mancini replace Riccardo Calafiori while the more attacking option of Stephan El Shaaraway hardly provides a direct replacement for injured left wing-back Federico Dimarco.
El Shaarawy will join Federico Chiesa and Gianluca Scamacca in attack, while Mateo Retegui and Giacomo Raspadori drop to the bench.
Is today the day when Gianluca Scamacca ignites his tournament and gets off the mark?

Italy have not lost to Switzerland in their last 11 meetings, with Switzerland's last win coming in a World Cup qualifier in 1993, when former Newcastle United and Everton defender Marc Hottiger grabbed the game's only goal.
The two sides met in the group stage of Euro 2020 where a brace from Manuel Locatelli and a goal from Ciro Immobile saw Italy run out comfortable 3-0 winners in Rome.
In 60 previous meetings, Switzerland have only prevailed on seven occasions, compared to Italy's 29 victories.
