Permutations:
Sweden need a win to qualify in second - or as a best third side if the Republic of Ireland secure a bigger win against Italy; anything else will eliminate them. Belgium need a draw to guarantee qualification in second place; a defeat would still put them through as a best third side unless Ireland beat Italy, which would knock them out. |

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has announced he is to retire from international football at the end of this tournament. If Sweden lose tonight's match, this will be the last game Ibrahimovic ever plays for Sweden.

A Sweden win here (as well as an Italy win in the other game) would send Belgium into the "difficult" half of the draw, and a date with France in the last 16 would be result.
I quite want it to happen to see the chaos unfold. |

Great save by Courtois, but that chance should have been buried.

Goalless at the break but it's been a decent enough half. Sweden have to really step it up at some point you would think.

Still a very open game. Just needs for someone to show some composure in front of goal.
