Hello and welcome to the Live Updates of what will be the last group game for both the teams in France and Switzerland. The French have already qualified for the next stage of the tournament. There will be a lot to prove for the Swiss though, who are a terrific side, and have been performing consistently in big tournaments. There is little doubt that they will progress to the next stage of the competition. With four points from two games, they look good. France have made five changes to the side that beat Albania while the Swiss have made only one. Switzerland have never progressesd to the knockout stages of the European Championships.

Teams
Switzerland (4-2-3-1) Sommer; Lichtsteiner, Schar, Djourou, Rodriguez; Behrami, Xhaka; Shaqiri, Dzemalli, Mehmedi; Embolo.
France (4-3-3) Lloris; Sagna, Rami, Koscielny, Evra; Sissoko, Cabaye, Pogba; Coman, Gignac, Griezmann
Full Time: Swiss hang on and progress to the knockout phase, the first time in their history. It was a long, hard road for Albania to get to this stage and they have created history too by posting their first win in a major tournament.
82′ Koscielny and Litchsteiner vie for the ball and both men fall to the ground. The Frenchman is yellow carded, quiet inexplicably at that
75′ Off the bar again!! What a move and Sissoko was scintillating here, driving past two men down the right and crossing it to the far post. Payet came in and thumped in a cracking volley. The ball crashed into the underside of the bar.
Seferovic comes on and he replaces Embolo
63′ Shaqiri has France go through some nervy moments as he lifts one goalwards from the right. The ball goes to the roof of the net.
France’s golden boy, Dimitri Payet comes on and off goes Kingsley Coman
61‘ More slipping and this was from a promising position as Sagna released a cute ball to the corner. Sissoko, who was in pole position to win the ball, stumbles over it.
59′ Pogba keeps trying as France try to force the issue. It doesn’t look like they are far off and it may well come through some piece of magic.
57′ Griezmann now has a pop from outside the box and the ball goes inches over the bar. This one had power and even Sommer was a bit concerned.
53′ Griezmann races away through the centre on goal and is tripped by Behrami. Would you believe it? The ball is punctured. Meanwhile, no foul given and the Swiss have the ball.
