Italy are through to the last 16 of the European Championship finals after Eder rushed onto Zaza’s knockdown to drive home from the edges of the box, late on to beat Sweden.

 

Ivan Perisic and Ivan Rakitic had given Croatia a 2-0 lead, but the Czechs hit back through Milan Skoda’s header before Thomas Necid scored through a penalty for handball in the 93rd minute. Flares thrown on the pitch during Croatia-Czecj Republic draw. The late equaliser will definitely hurt the Croatian players, who after dominating much of the match had to settle for a draw.

Two-time defending champions Spain waltzed to the last 16 of the European Championship with excellent clinical display against Turkey at Nice.

Alvaro Morata headed Spain ahead while Nolito doubled the lead within minutes and the third goal came after a sublime 22-pass move involving nine outfield players, with Morata finding the net.
