Italy scored a stoppage-time equaliser to earn a dramatic 1-1 draw against Norway to top Group A in the European Under-21 Championship.
Norway looked to have won it thanks to a late penalty won and converted by Stefan Strandberg but Andrea Bertolacci levelled things up with the final kick of the game to restore parity.
The Norwegians were not mathematically certain of reaching the last four as defeat here coupled with a heavy win for Israel against England would have seem them eliminated.
But the draw means both teams will progress to the semi-finals and it would have been harsh on the Italians not to have done so as group winners after dominating the contest.
Italy showed the greater cutting edge in the early stages with Nicola Sansone to the fore thanks to his willingness to try his luck from distance. The Parma man fired off a long range shot after 11 minutes that Arild Ostbo clung onto and the Italian then curled an effort just wide of the far post midway through the first half.
Italy continued to dominate as they searched for the opener and Fausto Rossi came close to finding the breakthrough when his shot was deflected wide of the target. Ostbo then acrobatically tipped a headed effort from Italy skipper Luca Caldirola over the crossbar from the resultant corner moments later.
The Norwegian keeper was the star of the show before the break and pulled off another fine save when saved one-handed down low to his right to deny Mattia Destro just before the interval.
In the second half Destro did beat Ostbo, rounding the keeper after breaking the offside trap, but he delayed his shot and could only find the sidenetting with the goal gaping.
It was all Italy at that stage but Norway gave a reminder of their threat after 65 minutes when Vegar Eggen Hedenstad struck a superb free-kick that rattled the crossbar.
And just as the game looked to be heading for a stalemate, Strandberg was hauled to the ground by Caldirola inside the area and got to his feet to calmly slot home the resultant spot-kick.
That looked like settling things but in the fourth-minute of added time, Ostbo failed to get hold of a ball launched into the box and Bertolacci hooked a superb improvised finish to score with Strandberg the man beaten on the line.
The two teams must now wait to see who they will meet in the last four with Norway set to face the winner of the game between Spain and Holland in Group B on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old is currently on international duty but City have confirmed the deal has been completed following a successful medical in New York.
Sevilla confirmed last week that they had agreed a deal with City for the World Cup winner.
He will link up with City after the Confederations Cup in Brazil and a short holiday.
Navas told the club's website: "Manchester City is an exciting project and this is the right moment for me to take this step. I'm very happy with the opportunity and the decision.
"The Premier League is a competition where the football is very fast and will suit the way I play. I'm really looking forward to it.
"City have been successful in recent years and are continuing to make a great team and I'm honoured to now be part of it.
"I'm going to a great club in England and I want to continue developing my game there.
"The club has put a lot of faith in me and I want to repay them out on the pitch."
Navas' arrival takes City's summer spending to close to ?45million following
the capture of Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho from Shakhtar Donetsk last
week.
The news is likely to be followed by confirmation that Manuel Pellegrini is to
take over as manager.
The 59-year-old Chilean's appointment has been expected since he left Malaga last week and, despite the perceived delay, is still thought to be a formality.
Navas will join fellow Spain international David Silva at the Etihad Stadium
and bolster the club's array of attacking talent.
He has spent his entire career to date with Sevilla and has twice won the UEFA Cup.
He also has Champions League experience having played in the competition in 2009.
When asked how he would adapt to life in Manchester, Navas said: "I think I will be fine.
"I love what I do, which is to play football. For me the most important thing is to be able to enjoy it as much as possible because we have a great squad."
City appear to be embarking on a summer of restructure after regressing since winning the Premier League in 2012.
Navas believes there are exciting times ahead.
Asked about the reasons for his move, he said: "I won some important titles with Sevilla but the Champions League is something you always have in mind, also to enjoy the Premier League and to have a really strong year.
"Truth is this is a dream for me and a challenge to play for a club like Manchester City and fight for titles and everything that comes with that.
"Considering everything, it was the confidence that I could play there and the truth is I am very happy to play for such a big club.
"Individually, above all, City have so many good players and the idea of playing there with such amazing players and fighting for a title - because I feel we have a good team to do that."
Navas will join fellow Spain international David Silva at Eastlands and bolster the club's array of attacking talent.
Navas said of Silva: "We get along pretty well. When he found out I was coming here he was very happy.
"I know he enjoys the city and the club has a great team."
