The final group games of Euro 2016 sees the Rep. Ireland qualify after a late winner against Italy; Zlatan Ibrahimovic retires from international football after Sweden crash out, and much more.

The Republic of Ireland will face the hosts France in the Round of 16 after Norwich City’s Robbie Brady scored a dramatic late winner against Italy under the closed roof at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

Martin O’Neill’s side came into the final Group E game bottom of the table, knowing that only a victory over an already qualified Italy was the only result that would see them progress.

Italian coach Antonio Conte made eight changes from the side that beat Sweden, and it showed. Ireland signified their intent as early as the 9th minute when Jeff Hendrick struck a sweet shot just wide of the Italian goal. There were the fastest out of the block, were the better side throughout most of the first half, and should have had a penalty when James McClean was brought down by Federico Bernadeschi only for the referee to wave play on much to the disgust to the men and women from the Emerald Isle.
