Italy made it through to the quarter-finals of Euro 2021 on Saturday with a 2-1 win over Austria after extra-time at Wembley.

Federico Chiesa and Matteo Pessina struck in the opening period of extra-time to down the Austrians, who pulled a goal back in the 114th minute through Sasa Kalajdzic but couldn't find the equaliser.

In the last eight Roberto Mancini's side will face either holders Portugal or Belgium in Munich on July 2.
