Italy 2-0 France

France receive a big early setback when Franck Ribery is stretchered off after falling awkwardly while challenging Gianluca Zambrotta
The situation worsens for Domenech when Eric Abidal is sent off for fouling Luca Toni and Andrea Pirlo converts the resulting penalty
A chance to equalise goes begging when Thierry Henry gets clear of Italy's defence before shooting wide
France's hopes of progressing are finally killed off just after the hour when Daniele De Rossi's 30-yard free-kick is deflected home by Henry
The result sees France go out while Italy now face a mouth-watering quarter-final against Spain on Sunday
