Sweden 1 Ukraine 2 (AET) LIVE REACTION: Dovbyk’s last-gasp extra-time winner seals quarter-final clash vs England

GOODNIGHT

And so comes the end of another gripping day at Euro 2020.

We may not have had the goals of yesterday, but the highs and lows, ecstasy and agony, drama and despair were just as prominent.

There are now two days rest before the quarter-finals begin – and God knows how we need them.

THE GRATEFUL EIGHT

Here’s how the quarter-final ties now look after today’s final two matches in the Round of 16.

• Switzerland v Spain (Saint Petersburg)
• Belgium v Italy (Munch)
• Czech Republic v Denmark (Baku)
• England v Ukraine (Rome)

The ties will take place this Friday and Saturday.

FULL TIME STATS

Ukraine scored with half of their four shots on targets in Glasgow, and Artem Dovbyk will forever remember his touch inside the Sweden penalty area.

AET: SWEDEN 1-2 UKRAINE

Wow. The drama never stops at Euro 2020. Ukraine have seen off Sweden in breathtaking fashion with international rookie Artem Dovbyk heading a winner when the contest looked destined for penalties. Sweden had clung on in extra-time following the sending off of their defender Marcus Danielson, only to be defeated right at the death.

Andriy Shevchenko’s team will now fly to Rome to face England in the quarter-finals.

HAVE YOUR SAY

Ukraine have done it! They’ve set up a landmark quarter final tie with England on Saturday in Rome. Who are you backing to make it to the final four?

PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
IT’S ALL OVER AT HAMPDEN PARK!
UKRAINE WILL FACE ENGLAND IN ROME!

SWEDEN 1-2 UKRAINE

120+1. Astonishing scenes!

In stoppage time at the end of extra-time, substitute Artem Dovbyk has sent Ukraine into the quarter-finals of the European Championships!

Having scored the opener, Oleksandr Zinchenko now creates the winner with a beautifully pinpoint cross from the left touchline that’s perfect for Dovbyk arriving between two defenders.

Stooping low, the striker’s connection is true as he heads past Robin Olsen for his first international goal.

Only in Andriy Shevchenko’s squad due to Junior Moraes’ injury, the 23-year-old has made himself a national hero. He rips his shirt off in celebration – earning a booking that won’t bother him – before being mobbed by teammates and staff.

There’s a short anxious wait as VAR check for an offside, but Dovbyk had timed his run to perfection, and is just played on by Victor Lindelof.

Ukraine are destined for Rome and the quarter-finals.

GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLL!!
ARTEM DOVBYK HAS WON IT FOR UKRAINE!!

SWEDEN 1-1 UKRAINE

120. And immediately Bezus has gone down holding his face in the penalty area.

I’m not sure why though, Helander was only holding his ground as they collided while going for a cross.

SWEDEN 1-1 UKRAINE

118. A 12th and – thankfully – final substitution brings Roman Bezus into the action. Off goes Serhiy Sydorchuk.

SWEDEN 1-1 UKRAINE

116. Malinovskyi takes aim twice.

His first shot is blocked, his second is a volley the drops a good two yards wide of goal.

SWEDEN 1-1 UKRAINE

112. Are Ukraine having a go here?

A break into the box sees Karavaev attempting to nip the ball past a sliding Marcus Berg, who is then caught in the face by the Ukrainian’s knee.

The Sweden striker, playing in a deeper role than usual, is the latest walking wounded out there.

SWEDEN 1-1 UKRAINE

110. Momentary excitement as Dovbyk bundles his way through on goal before blasting hopelessly over.

The offside flag goes up so wouldn’t have counted even if he hadn’t have skied it towards Celtic Park.

SWEDEN 1-1 UKRAINE

108. Oh, and Andriy Yarmolenko has been replaced by Artem Dovbyk.

It’s the 11th substitution of the game, nine of which have taken place in extra-time so it’s not surprise that I’ve lost track of who’s on and who’s off – and it’s not just because I’ve been operating with a blunt pencil.

SWEDEN 1-1 UKRAINE

106. So, here we go for 15 minutes of pre-penalties stop-start football.

A shootout looks so inevitable at this point that I’m going to sharpen my pencil.

PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
THE GAME RESTARTS!

PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
THAT’S THE END OF THE FIRST PERIOD!

SWEDEN 1-1 UKRAINE

115+5. It’s like a scene from a war film out there now with players lying injured all across the pitch.

Yarmolenko is the latest receiving treatment.

SWEDEN 1-1 UKRAINE

105. Another player hits the deck as we go into stoppage time at the end of extra-time’s first period.

It’s Emil Krafth, who has taken a Zinchenko cross full in the face.

SWEDEN 1-1 UKRAINE

103. Artem Besedin hobbles off behind the goal, clearly in pain and distress, and is replaced by Viktor Tsygankov.

HAVE YOUR SAY

Marcus Danielson sent off for a nasty challenge on Besedin after the ref consulted VAR, having only awarded a yellow initially…

SWEDEN 1-1 UKRAINE

101. And here’s another change.

Filip Helander is no stranger to Glasgow, having won the Scottish Premiership with Rangers, and he’s on to replace Kristoffer Olsson.

Meanwhile, the recipient of Danielson’s studs, Besedin, doesn’t look as though he’ll be able to continue. The striker only came on at the start of extra-time but is now having his leg heavily strapped.

SWEDEN 1-1 UKRAINE

100. Sweden will have to play the remaining 20 minutes of extra-time with ten men after referee Daniele Orsato upgraded Danielson’s punishment to a red card, having consulted the pitchside monitor.

Having just made three changes, Janne Andersson will have to tinker with his backline once again.

RED CARD FOR MARCUS DANIELSON!
