Hosts France, reigning champions Spain, and the Italians have all qualified for the knockout phase of Euro 2016 after coming through their second round of matches with unbeaten runs intact.

Italy followed France into the knockout phase of Euro 2016 after a moment of brilliance from the Sampdoria striker Eder in a game of few chances against Sweden in Toulouse. The Italians go through as group leaders with a match to spare.

The Italian broke the deadlock in the 88th minute after weaving through the Swedish back line before curling a low shot into the back of the net. It was only the second chance of note. The first coming in the 81st minute when Marco Parolo headed the ball against the Swedish crossbar following a pinpoint cross from Emanuele Giaccherini. It was the 11th time in the championships that a side has scored a goal beyond the 85th minute.

It was a classic Italian performance: compact, defensive, boring. Giorgio Chiellini didn’t give Zlatan Ibrahimovic a kick, and because of that, the Swedes never looked likely to become the first side in this championships to put the ball past Gianluigi Buffon.
