UEFA Euro 2020 Highlights, Spain vs Sweden: Euro 2020: Sweden hold Spain to a frustrating 0-0 draw in Seville

That’s all we have for you today. Thank you so much for joining us. Some mouth-watering clashes tomorrow involving Portugal, Germany, and France. See you then. For now, it’s goodnight. CIAO!

FULL-TIME! After 96 minutes, the game ends in a rather exciting 0-0 draw.

Sweden will be the happier side as they negotiated a barrage of Spanish attacks who failed to score even one goal.

90+3′ HOW DID THAT NOT GO IN? DO SPAIN DO NOT WANT TO SCORE?

Alba whips in a cross the centre of the box from the byline n the left. The balls hits Sarabia’s legs but rolls to Olsen’s hands as he fails to control it.

90+2′ DRAGS WIDE! Moreno’s effort from the cusp of the area floats wide of the far post.

90′ OLSEN SAVES AT THE DEATH! WHAT A GAME OLSEN IS HAVING! Sarabia’s cross is headed towards goal by Moreno but the ball is cleared away by Olsen’s legs. Good reaction

85′ CHANCE! Spain charge forward, desperately looking for the opener. Moreno drills in a lovely cross but Sarabia fails to reach it.

83′: Olsson limps off and is replaced by Cajuste. Forsberg is replaced by Bengtsson.

82′ BLOCKED! Alba feeds the ball to Oyarzabal inside the box, who twists and turns around the defenders before taking a shot. His attempt, however, is blocked

79′ PUNCHED! Sarabia whipped the ball in from the right flank, seeking Moreno. But Olsen got to the ball to punch it away.

78′ What a run fro Pedri. He has been spectacular all night. He tries to link up with Moreno after darting though the Swedish defence.

Spain: Oyarzabal and Gerard replace Olmo and Torres.

Sweden: Lustig replaced by Krafth

74′ BLOCKED! Llorente cuts back from the byline. Incoming Olmo drifts on the inside, great first touch on the volley before taking a shot on goal. However, the shot is blocked by Danielsson

70′ BLOCKED! Linelof blocks Torres’ shot!

Spain haven’t played out a group-stage draw since Euro 1980 against Italy

68′ Changes for Sweden! Berg and Isak are replaced by Quaison and Claesson.

65′ Spain subs at last: Morata and Rodri are replaced by Sarabia and Thiago.

61′ WILL ANYBODY HIT THE TARGET TONIGHT? OH, BERG! WHOLE OF SWEDEN ALMOST STARTED CELEBRATING.

Isak starts an excellent counter with a perfectly-weighted ball from the centre. He then gets the ball back and fights his way past three defenders to squirt a low cross from the byline on the right. Berg, from six yards out, misses the goal. How?

Well, a substitution is imminent for Spain now. They have clearly faded and the longer it stays this way, the more it will hurt them

55′ YELLOW CARD! Sweden win a throw in but the referee isn’t going to take Lustig wasting time. So he pulls out the yellow.

53′ POUCHED! Koke, on the prowl, looks to feed Olmo, but the ball is too strong is caught but Olsen

50′ CHANCE! Morata, from the edge of the box, drags the ball wide of the goal.

Off we go! The home team get the ball rolling.

RIGHT THEN! WE ARE BACK AND SO ARE THE PLAYERS. Will Spain finally break the deadlock or will Sweden spring up a surprise?

A frustrating first half for Spain comes to an end. Despite 9 shots and more than 80% possession, they have nothing to show for it.

45′ OLSEN’S SAVES KEEPS HIS TEAM ALIVE! Olmos takes a crack at goal from the cusp of the box. Olsen does well to get low on time and make a save.

41′ SWEDEN ALMOST SCORE! Incredible game, this. Isak, Sweden’s forward, has barely touched the ball today. All of a sudden, he finds himself inside the Spain box with three attempts. His shot is deflected on to the post by Llorente and then pouched by the Spanish keeper. That could so easily have gone into the back of his own net.

38′ MISS! HOW DID MORATA NOT SCORE THERE? Danielsson completely misses the ball, while dealing with Alba’s pass. Morata finds himself in space. He decides to go for the far post but drills the low shot wide.

35′ CORNER! A streaky corner and Unai Simon, Spain’s goalkeeper, taking chances. Marcus Berg had won a throw-in against the run of play. Larsson’s cross from the throw-in was heading towards goal. Spain goalie wasn’t sure so decided to be safe than sorry.

33′ To be fair, Sweden are simply just surviving. Spain are unleashing a flurry of attacks but just aren’t able to score.

28′ OVER! Oh, boy! That was a glorious chance and a glorious run from the midfield deserve a goal. Koke gets to the end of a lovely ball from Olmo but fails to keep it down

25′ CORNER! Torres, on the right wing, flicks the ball to Llorente, who squares it back to Torres but the ball is then intercepted by Olsson for a corner. Pedri takes a short one and nothing comes off it.

23′ KOKEEE, JUST WIDE! Alba, down the left-hand side, causing problems. he tries to squeeze the ball through a forest of legs near the byline but is unable to do so. The ball rolls to an incoming Koke, who’s shot drags wide of the post.

18′ CLOSE! Another cross whipped into the Swedish box by Olmo and the men in yellow survive.

16′ WHAT A SAVE! Koke floats the ball from the right wing and Olmo’s header thwarted by the diving left hand of Olsen, who was initially moving right. Corner is conceded but nothing comes off it.

12′ GREAT BLOCK! Torres heads the ball to Morata on the right of the box but Danielsson intercepts, gets the ball back and clears it out of harm’s way.

12′ FOUL! Pedri brought down by a late challenge by Olsson.

11′ FOUL ON OLMO! Koke to take the freekick from the left flank. Rodri almost get the header but the Swedish defenders clear the ball away.

7′ BLAZED OVER! The ball rolls to Olmo from the corner kick, who from outside the box, hits over the crossbar.

6′ ANOTHER CORNER! Jordi Alba squares it from the left flank near the byline but no Spain bodies are able to get to the ball inside the box on time. Swede defender Augustinsson makes a dodgy clearance

Corner for Spain as Ferran Torres’ cross into the box is headed away by Lustig. But nothing comes off it

Pedri, just 18, is applauded for his first touch. What a moment for him

And we are underway in Seville as the first half begins!

Teams have walked out.

It’s time for the national anthem.

Sweden’s followed by home team Spain’s

Juventus winger Dejan Kulusevski and Bologna midfielder Mattias Svanberg were isolating.

Both are back in the camp now

said that facing Spain is still “one of the toughest challenges in the world of football”, but the Blue and Yellows certainly have the players capable of making Monday’s fixture a very uncomfortable 90 minutes for a Spain side very much in a transitional period.

We are less thsn 15 minutes away from kick-off! Expect this to be a cracker
