An overall stop-start game was crying out loud for an individual to produce a moment of magic and shape the game in his side’s favour. Italy’s Eder raised his hand to step up a level and force a result when tactics discussed in the dressing room weren’t producing the desired outcome.

A throw-in by Chiellini was knocked down in the path of the Sampdoria player, who hurtled across a tiring Swedish defence – none of whom made an effort to close him down. He promptly found the space to fire past the goalkeeper to win it for Italy and send them into the next round of this edition of the Euros.
