Player of the day: Captain Sheva

He has been banging goals all over Europe throughout a glamorous club career, but Ukraine’s living legend Andriy Shevchenko hasn’t scored a more important brace than the two against Sweden in Kiev.

The 35-year-old was overjoyed after guiding the co-hosts to victory with two brilliant headers, including the winner that saw him totally outsmart Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Goal of the day: Nasri vs. England

After some good passing by France, Samir Nasri rifled a bouncing effort that left his Manchester City teammate Joe Hart stranded.

Save of the day: Hart foils France

England keeper Hart showed excellent reflexes to deny a close-range header from Alou Diarra.

Miss of the day: Milner vs. France

Although the angle was slightly tight, England midfielder James Milner still missed an empty net after rounding France keeper Hugo Lloris.

Manager decision: Sheva start

Shevchenko hasn’t started any of Ukraine’s warm-up matches before the finals, but manager Oleh Blokhin will never regret his decision to hand the veteran a starting berth against Sweden.
