Goncalo Paciencia broke the deadlock with a firm strike to give the Portuguese the lead with just eight minutes remaining.

With the Swedes chasing the game, a long ball into the box fell kindly for Tibbling, and the FC Groningen midfielder showed great composure to get it out of his feet and place a low shot past the keeper, with the aid of a slight deflection.
The equaliser rendered Italy’s emphatic 3-1 win over England obsolete and consigned the Azzurrini to third place in the group.
The point was enough for Portugal to seal top sot and a last four meeting with Germany, with the Swedes progressing as runners-up.
