欧洲杯D组末轮在基辅奥林匹克球场展开1场角逐,法国0比2负于瑞典,终结2010年9月以来23场不败,但排名次席晋级8强,1/4决赛遭遇西班牙。

Sweden took on France in the other Group D match. France looked like it had the advantage with plenty of momentum in the group stage, and stood ready to advance against the Swedes. Sweden had already been knocked out of group play, but was still eager for a win.
In the 10th minute, Philippe Mexes failed on defense. Sweden's Ola Toivonen tried to capitalize, but his shot hit the crossbar. The French had never lost to Sweden in 43 years of football between the two countries. A victory from France could help the Frenchmen win the group. The teams were tied 0-0 at the half.
In the 54th minute, the underdog team finally got on the board first. Sweden's Zlatan Ibrahimovic made an acrobatic volley for 1-0. The star striker lived up to his pre-tournament billing with the goal.
And Sweden wasn't done...the side scored again in stoppage time.
Sebastian Larsson put the ball into the French net. Then the clock ran out on Sweden's first victory over the French since 1969...but France still advances to the knockout round.
To the standings, France's poor performance meant England finished atop group D with 7 points. France was 2nd, and both teams advance to the quarterfinal. Ukraine and Sweden were next with 3 points each. Both co-hosts are now out of Euro 2012 competition.
In the quarterfinals, the Czech Republic will face Portugal, Germany takes on Greece, the French will play defending champion Spain and England will neet Italy.
