Belgium win nail biter over Sweden

The final pair of matches of Euro 2016's group stage took place on Wednesday. One of those matches was between Belgium and Sweden. Both squads came into the match wanting a result: Sweden wanted a win in order to qualify for the round of 16 and Belgium wanted a win or a draw to secure their hold on 2nd place.

For a second consecutive game, Thomas Meunier was preferred to the Impact's Laurent Ciman to start at right back.

In the opening moments of the match, Sweden's desire to score that all-important opening goal was evident.
