ROME (Reuters) - Norway blew their chance to qualify directly for Euro 2016 after they conceded two goals in the last 20 minutes and were beaten 2-1 by already-qualified Italy on Tuesday.

Needing a win to finish second in Group H and clinch their place, Norway were leading through Alexander Tettey's first-half goal until a blunder by Haitam Aleesami allowed Alessandro Florenzi to level.
