Italy v Spain Nations League ratings: Bonucci 3, Verratti 5; Torres 8, Gavi 7

Spain end Italy's 37-match unbeaten run with 2-1 win at San Siro

ITALY RATINGS: Gianluigi Donnarumma – 6. Made an uncharacteristic error just after Spain broke the deadlock, juggling Alonso’s long range shot onto the woodwork and needing Bonucci’s clearance to keep it out. Couldn’t do much about either goals. Getty Images

Giovanni Di Lorenzo – 6. Beat Azpilicueta to get a low header to threaten Simon’s near post. Getty Images

Leonardo Bonucci – 3 A short-lived display by the Juve man. Should have done a lot better to stop Oyarzabal’s cross. Made a vital clearance as his goalkeeper struggled to stop Alonso’s shot but saw a second yellow just before half time. Should have known better with a yellow card early on. Getty Images

Alessandro Bastoni – 5. Chosen to start instead of Chiellini, and Roberto Mancinci might have been regretting that as the centre-back was often caught out of position. Not helped with Bonucci’s sending off. Getty Images

Emerson – 6. A few positive glimpses early on but caught ball watching and lost his man as Torres doubled Spain’s lead. Getty Images

Nicolo Barella – 5. Another player to struggle against Spain’s midfield with a measly 15 passes all game. Getty Images

Jorginho – 6. Quiet first half but endured quite the feisty restart, colliding with Torres and Gavi in a physical display in the middle as he took things into his own hands and looked to use his experience to inspire his side. Subbed off soon after. Getty Images

Marco Verratti – 5. An anonymous player in midfield for Italy throughout the second half and struggled to deal with Spain’s trio. Reuters

Federico Chiesa – 7. The in-form striker could have got his team ahead within five minutes with an early shot to Simon’s right side. Produced a storming run with minutes left to beaten Spain’s defence and lay the ball on a plate for Pellegrini. Getty Images

Federico Bernardeschi – 6. With no Ciro Immobile, Bernardeschi started as a false nine and forced Simon low with an effort. Sacrificed at half-time as Italy looked to salvage their unbeaten run. Getty Images

Lorenzo Insigne – 6. Could have celebrated his 50th cap for his country with a goal but was unable to convert in Italy’s best chance in the first half when he was left unmarked. Getty Images

SUB: Giorgio Chiellini (Bernardeschi, 45’) – 6. Came on at half-time following Bonucci’s second yellow as Italy looked for experience to find a way back in. Looked like a damage limitation option for most of the second half but saw Chiesa run onto his clearance and spark the break to give Italy some hope. Getty Images

SUB: Moise Kean (Insigne, 58’) – 5. A last minute call-up as Mancini struggled to name a striker in his team but struggled to see much of the ball. Getty Images

SUB: Lorenzo Pellegrini (Jorginho, 64’) – 6. Madeno mistake when faced one-on-one with Unai Simon. Getty Images

SUB: Davide Calabria (Barella, 72’) – N/R. A late addition to Mancini’s squad and replaced a quiet Barella, but a matter of coming on too late. Getty Images

SPAIN RATINGS: Unai Simon – 6. Did well when he faced both Chiesa’s and Bernardeschi’s low shots. Faced with a one-on-one situation with Chiesa but was always at a disadvantage as he slotted it to Pellegrini. Getty Images

Cesar Azpilicueta – 7. The experience right-back looked surprised as Di Lorenzo ran in front and got his low header on target just before the 30-minute mark, but it was largely a comfortable display for the Chelsea defender. Booked. Getty Images

Aymeric Laporte – 7. His international career with Spain is still in the early stages after his switch for the summer but Laporte looked to be a strong addition when needed. EPA

Pau Torres – 5. Didn’t have much to do as Spain dominated large parts of the game but made a feeble attempt at stopping Chiesa’s counter attack for the goal. EPA

Marcos Alonso – 8. Played some lovely balls for Sarabia to run onto in the early stages and was no surprise to see the goal come from him and Oyarzabal. Could have made it 2-0 just seconds later, hitting the woodwork when Donnarumma was unable to stop it. Getty Images

Koke – 7. All over the pitch as Spain’s midfield trio contrasted to their opposition and a large part in why so many attacks came from the left wing. Gave plenty of support to Alonso to attack. Getty Images

Sergio Busquets – 7. Unlike his counterpart, the 33-year-old put in a captain’s display to cement a strong midfield for his country. AFP

Gavi – 7. A surprise start for the young midfielder as he became Spain’s youngest debutant at just 17. He was seemingly nervous in the first few minutes, losing the ball for Chiesa’s shot but did well to force Veratti wide and read Insigne’s free-kick to stop a training ground move coming to fruition. Proved to be a player Italy struggled to keep quiet. Getty Images

Pablo Sarabia – 7. With Luis Enrique unable to name Gerard Moreno and Alvaro Morata in his squad, Sarabia came in to support a makeshift front line and linked up well in the opening stages with Alonso. Did well in the build up of Spain’s second to hold up and shield the ball from Bastoni and lay it out for Oyarzabal. Booked. Getty Images

Ferran Torres – 8. Continued to add to his international tally of goals for Spain as he karate-kicked Oyarzabal’s ball into the net. Made no mistake doubling his country’s lead on the half-time whistle. Subbed minutes after the restart for a foot injury. Getty Images

Mikel Oyarzabal – 8. Part of a partnership made in heaven as twice he delivered the perfect crosses for Torres. Beat Bonucci for the first and a looping ball for the second. Couldn’t get his header on target for what would have been a deserved goal. Booked. AP Photo

SUB: Yeremi Pino (Torres 49’) – 6 Played in Oyarzabal minutes after coming into the game. Produced a lovely ball for Alonso, which forced an excellent save by Donnarumma. Inexperience could be blamed as he headed Chiellini’s clearance to Pau Torres whose poor effort to clear sparked Italy’s goal. Booked. AFP

SUB: Bryan Gil (Sarabia 75’) – N/R. A late addition to the matchday squad following Marcos Llorente’s injury. Getty Images

Spain ended European champions Italy's world record 37-match unbeaten run as Ferran Torres scored twice in a 2-1 win at the San Siro in their Nations League semi-final on Wednesday.

Spain will face the winners of Thursday's other semi-final between France and Belgium, in Sunday's decider.

Torres put Spain ahead in the 17th minute, steering a left-wing cross from Mikel Oyarzabal into the far corner past Italy keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Roberto Mancini's side, who beat Spain on penalties in the Euro 2020 semi-final in July, found themselves down to 10 men in the 42nd minute when Leonardo Bonucci was sent off for a second yellow card after elbowing Sergio Busquets.

Torres then sent Luis Enrique's side in with a two-goal lead at the break when he was left unattended to head in another fine cross from Oyarzabal.

Italy ensured a tense end to a quality match when they pulled a goal back, seven minutes from the end, as Enrico Chiesa took advantage of hesitant Spanish defending, broke from the halfway line to the box and then slipped the ball to substitute Lorenzo Pellegrini to convert.
