Italy set new record of 31 games unbeaten as Azzurri beat Austria 2-1 after going 1,168 minutes without conceding a goal

Roberto Mancini's side broke a record that has stood for 82 years as they moved into the European Championship quarter-finals

Italy set a new national record after extending their unbeaten run to 31 games with a 2-1 extra-time win against Austria in the last 16 of Euro 2020.

Roberto Mancini's side equalled the record that has stood since 1939 with a 1-0 win over Wales in their final group game last weekend, but surpassed it with a hard-earned victory at Wembley on Saturday.

The game finished goalless after 90 minutes, but strikes from Federico Chiesa and Matteo Pessina were enough to send the Azzurri through to the last eight, despite Sasa Kalajdzic's header ending a run of 1,168 minutes without conceding a goal.
