Spain go through

Spain are safely through to the quarter-finals of Euro 2008 after a last minute victory over Sweden.

Perennial underachievers Spain booked their place in the quarter-finals of Euro 2008 with a 2-1 victory against Sweden, but it took until the second minute of time added on. Torres opened the scoring after 15 minutes but Ibrahamivic restored the balance after 34. minutes.

Spain enjoyed much of the possession but were unable to convert it into goals, having to wait until the second minute of time added to clinch victory. David Villa scored the winner, his fourth of the tournament.

Spain top the group table which means they now avoid the in-form Dutch in the next round.
