The match was watched by 12.9m, on average, while its pre-game and post-game included put that average at 9.2m, a 43 per cent audience share at the time of broadcast.
It overtook an episode of Britain's Got Talent, also an ITV show, aired in April which gained a peak of 11.6m viewers.
ITV said in March that it experienced a flat quarter at the start of the year as advertisers held off spending for the football tournament, which kicked off on Friday.
