Ireland seized the moment in Group E and, with a victory over Italy, have made it through to the European Championship knockout stages for the first time ever. Martin O'Neill’s side beat the Azzurri, thanks to a late Robbie Brady goal (85‘) and will face tournament hosts France in Lyon on Sunday. Italy will go head-to-head with Spain at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis on Monday.
In contrast, Sweden captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic ended his international career on a low point as Belgium’s 1-0 win knocked his team out of EURO 2016. Radja Nainggolan’s goal (84‘) saw Belgium finish second in Group E behind Italy and they will now face Hungary in Toulouse on Sunday.
