Italy 1-0 Sweden
Italy booked their place in the knockout stages of Euro 2016 as a superb late winner from Eder secured victory over Sweden in Toulouse.
A disappointing Group E clash had been heading for a stalemate until the Brazilian-born forward popped up with the crucial strike in the 88th minute.
Eder picked up the ball and cut inside the Swedish cover before curling a low shot past Andreas Isaksson.
The victory leaves Italy top of the group on six points and raises the prospect of manager Antonio Conte resting some of his veteran players for the Azzurri's final pool game against Ireland on Wednesday.
Italy had been criticised before the competition but they had produced perhaps the finest performance of any side so far when they overcame Belgium 2-0.
Sweden, meanwhile, had been unimpressive in their 1-1 draw with Ireland, when only Ciaran Clark's second-half own goal prevented them falling to defeat.
In that context Italy were expected to again win, but during an uninspiring opening 45 minutes it was Sweden who played with greater intent and who justified previous concerns surrounding Italy's quality.
Manager Erik Hamren had responded to their disappointing performance against Ireland by replacing Marcus Berg with John Guidetti and Albin Ekdal with Oscar Lewicki. An injury to Mikael Lustig also meant a starting place for Erik Johansson, and overall they improved.
Yet as has been the case for much of the past decade, the form of Zlatan Ibrahimovic represented their greatest chance of victory.
It did much to capture the nature of their game that the forward wasted what appeared their finest chance midway through the second half.
A left-wing cross made its way through Italy's penalty area but, despite space from directly in front of goal, he somehow missed the target and was saved from disappointment only by being ruled offside.
Italy threatened in the 82nd minute, when Marco Parolo headed Emanuele Giaccherini's cross against the crossbar.
With a draw looking inevitable, substitute Simone Zaza then headed towards Eder, and the striker classily dribbled through Sweden's defence before equally impressively finishing beyond goalkeeper Isaksson.
Sweden had a stoppage-time penalty appeal dismissed, and Italy held out.
