Switzerland beats France 5-4 on penalties at Euro 2021
Follow all the action as Sweden take on Ukraine at Hampden Park, with the winner set to face either England or Germany in the Euro 2020 quarter-finals.
Sweden played excellently in the group stage stages and remained unbeaten to secure top spot, with an opening draw followed by narrow wins over Slovakia and Poland. Alexander Isak has been one of the standout performers in the tournament thus far and has worked in fine tandem with Emil Forsberg, who is an unlikely contender in the golden boot race, having already scored three times.
Ukraine were somewhat fortunate to reach the knockout stages, having lost two of their three group games. They have still shown quality in defeat, though, especially when coming from two goals down against the Netherlands, only to be denied by a late Denzel Dumfries winner. Their sole victory came against North Macedonia, with Roman Yaremchum playing a starring for again for Andriy Shevchenko’s side. Follow all the action live below at the conclusion of England vs Germany:
Ukraine head into the quarter-finals of a European Championship for the first time ever. They go and celebrate in front of their own fans. They qualified for the knockout stages by coming third in group C, now they’re heading to Rome for a quarter-final against England.
120+4 mins: There it is. Ukraine are into the quarter-finals of Euro 2020. Artem Dovbyk is the hero tonight. Sweden gave it their all but they fell agonisingly short.
120+1 mins: UKRAINE HAVE WON IT! Zinchenko brings the ball down the left wing and whips another cross into the box. This time there’s a bit of space in between the Swedish centre-backs. Artem Dovbyk runs in behind Victor Lindelof. He wins the header and guides it into the bottom corner! Right at the death, the added minutes of extra time and Ukraine are in front!
117 mins: Roman Bezus is the last substitute of the game as he replaces Serhiy Sydorchuk for Ukraine. They’re persisting with crosses into the box from the wide areas but they’re having no joy. Sweden are seeing this out well.
114 mins: A heroic block from substitute Berg halts Karavaev’s progress in the box, but he takes whack to the head for his efforts and more time ekes out of the game.
111 mins: Sweden have everyone behind the ball and Ukraine are reluctant to to cross the ball into the box. Instead Malinovskyi weaves into the middle and threads a lovely pass into the box. He picks out Dovbyk, who turns towards goal and blasts his shot over the crossbar! The offside flag goes up though so it wouldn’t have counted anyway.
