Goal!

Belgium 0-2 Italy

  • Graziano Pelle 90+2

Belgium are pushing forward in search of an equaliser, but in doing so they leave themselves exposed at the back and Italy are quick to explot the defensive disarray. A quick break through the middle and the ball reaches Antonio Candreva who pops up a cross for Pelle and the striker volleys home emphatically. Game over.

Sweden-equaliser

Goal!

Ireland 1-1 Sweden

  • Ciaran Clark og 71

The Irish defence, which has repelled everything thrown at it, finally cracks and Sweden are level. A neat exchange of passes just inside the Irish penalty area and the ball finally reaches Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whose cross is turned into his own goal by the unfortunate Ciaran Clark.

******************************

18:06 BST

Close!

Ireland 1-0 Sweden

Good response from Sweden. Darren Randolph makes a fine save from a deflected clearance but the ball falls to Emil Forsberg who blazes wide from close range. He has to hit the target there, surely.

Ireland goal

Goal!

Ireland 1-0 Sweden

Hits the woodwork!

Ireland 0-0 Sweden

Ireland definitely in the ascendancy in Paris and unlucky not to be ahead. A neat move down the left culminates in Jeff Hendrick playing a one-two with Shane Long before curling a long range effort which canons off the bar.

******************************

Close!

Ireland 0-0 Sweden

John O’Shea is inches away from giving Ireland the lead. An outswinging corner from the left is flicked on by Ciaran Clark into the path of O’Shea, who slides in but fails to make contact with his outstretched boot. Any touch would have brought a goal.

  • Gerard Pique 87

The deadlock is finally broken. Spain refused to be flustered and copntinued with their patient passing game. The ball eventually finds Andres Iniesta, who cuts in from the left to float a cross into the six-yard box where Gerard Pique is on hand to nod home.

Close

Spain 0-0 Czech Republic

Chances at both ends. First, Cesc Fabregas has to be alert to hook the ball clear from under the Spanish bar with Tomas Necid lurking. At the other end, Jordi Alba beats the offsisde trap and is found with a perfectly weighted chipped pass from David Silva, but the full–back’s control lets him down and the ball is hacked away for a corner.
