England and France came up against each other in the first match of Group D. A tight affair was expected as both sides came into the game having won friendlies. The deadlock was broken on 30 minutes when a powerful header from Lescott bulged the back of the net. England settled a little but France were always dangerous. The equaliser came after 39 minutes when Nasri shot low into the bottom corner of Joe Harts net. There were a few chances in the second half but no goals and England were probably the happier to come away with a point.
France 1-1 England
The joint hosts Ukraine faced Sweden and a goal less first half meant this match could go either way. The second half started brightly and Sweden took the lead with Ibrahimovic scoring. Ukraine came straight back into it with a brace from Shevchenko, both goals coming from headers. Sweden pressed forward but there was nothing going to stop the home crowd celebrating the opening win for there host nation.
Ukraine 2-1 Sweden
