Republic of Ireland were denied victory over Sweden in Group E by a Ciaran Clark own goal in a 1-1 draw at the Stade de France.
Ireland were far brighter during the first half, and they served notice of their intent when Jeff Hendrick fired a snap shot on goal on nine minutes, forcing a decent save from Sweden keeper Andreas Isaksson.
They came even closer on 17 minutes when Clark got his head to a Robbie Brady corner and sent it in the direction of John O'Shea, but the 35-year-old defender was not able to divert it home.
