Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku pulled one back from the spot shortly afterwards, and although they kept the pressure on until the very end, Italy held on for a famous victory against the No 1 ranked side in the world.
Italy’s incredible run continues as the result makes it 12 consecutive wins for a side who not many fancied pre-tournament.
Their momentum will be mightily difficult to stop for Spain who edged into the semi-finals via a penalty shootout victory over Switzerland earlier in the day.
Indeed, the Swiss almost pulled off yet another shock result after their last 16 triumph over France, but a poor quality shootout allowed the Spaniards to capitalise and stamp their name on the final four.
