HALF TIME SCORES
France 1 Spain 0
A single goal separates these European rivals after an exciting first half in which both sides went close. Spain's raw pace threatened France from the outset but once the match settled, France's light passing play gradually gave them the upper hand. Spain are the more direct team and they have plenty of time to turn the game around, but they will need to find something extra after the break.
Ukraine 0 Togo 2
With rumours of a FIPA enquiry into their team selection flying around before kick-off, a demoralised Ukraine side shipped two goals and never looked threatening against a Togo clearly brimful of confidence. The scoreline could have been even worse for Ukraine as Togo were denied a clear penalty appeal. Unless they can produce a miracle, it looks like Ukraine will be flying home - wherever that home turns out to be.
