Italy frustrate record-chasing Zlatan at half-time

Toulouse (France) (AFP) – Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s bid to become the first player to score at four European Championships was foiled as Sweden were level at 0-0 with Italy in their Euro 2016 Group E clash at half-time.

Italy could secure a place in the last 16 with victory in Toulouse after a fine 2-0 win over Belgium to open their campaign.

However, Sweden had the best chance of the first period when Ibrahimovic headed straight at his old Juventus teammate Gianluigi Buffon in the Italy goal.
