Euro 2012: England made it through to the knock-out stages of Euro 2012 with a narrow 1-0 win over Co-hosts Ukraine at the Donbass Arena in Donetsk on Tuesday.
Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney opened the scoring just after the restart with a simple header from close range.
Despite a late push from Ukraine, Roy Hodgson’s men held on to their lead and just did enough to secure all three points.
France Advance Depite Loss
Former World Champions France made it through to the quarter-finals of Euro 2012 despite losing 2-0 to Sweden in Kiev.
Les Bleus missed too many opportunities in front of goal and conceded an outstanding second half goal courtesy of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Erik Hamren’s men, who had no chance of making it through to the knockout-stages, looked in great shape and eventually made sure of the win thanks to a late goal from Sebastian Larsson.
