MARTIN KEOWN: One reason Gareth Southgate may switch to a back three would be his concern that the overworked Declan Rice would get outnumbered in midfield if England played a 4-3-3. The Arsenal man would be left with an opponent on either side of him as a consequence of Switzerland's carousel system which can see them end up in the old-fashioned W-M formation. This is accomplished by Murat Yakin sending two extra bodies into the midfield while the match is ongoing. Sometimes you will see their two forwards Fabian Rieder and Ruben Vargas withdrawing deep to fulfil that role. On other occasions the wing backs Dan Ndoye and Michel Aebischer move inside from their flanks, which is highly unusual. There is an incredible fluidity to how they do this - and that is something England will need to be wary of.

Switzerland fully deserved to progress into the quarter-finals where they have a potential date with England. Berlin had been the venue for Italy's triumph at the 2006 World Cup but they never looked like pulling off a repeat as they were second-best in every department. Here, Mail Sport's JOE BERNSTEIN runs the rule over who impressed - and which players should do better - in the first of the last-16 matches.

There were own goals and wonder goals. There were script-changing late goals. Records were shattered, hearts broken and noses busted in the group stage of Euro 2024. There were bright shiny newbies and great golden oldies. Unlikely heroes burst from the fringes. There were pink kits and pretzels, armies of tartan, invasions of orange. Blaring car horns of late-night celebration, doner kebabs and mighty steins of ale.

Germany ensured they would progress to the knockout stages of Euro 2024 as group winners after a dramatic injury-time goal from Niclas Fullkrug secured a 1-1 draw against Switzerland.
Robert Andrich thought he had put Germany ahead in the first half, before his goal was ruled out for a foul in the build-up. Dan Ndoye then shocked the hosts as he netted his first international goal and Switzerland continued to frustrate Germany with a near-perfect performance. They thought they had secured the win late on, but Ruben Vargas had an effort ruled out for offside, before Fullkrug's last-gasp header levelled the clash, with Murat Yakin's side finishing second in Group A on five points.

GERMANY 1-1 SWITZERLAND - MATT BARLOW AT THE FRANKFURT ARENA: The trains are no longer to be relied upon in Germany. It has been the most surprising element of Euro 2024 for anybody who basked in the smooth operation of the World Cup finals 18 years ago, and it has ruined a well-worn national stereotype. For more 90 minutes in Frankfurt, Julian Nagelsmann's team, such a reassuring model of efficiency through their first two games, were on the blink as well. Trailing to Switzerland, seconds from defeat and ceding top spot in Group A to their neutral Alpine neighbours. Until Niclas Fullkrug rode to the rescue. Fullkrug is a man Germany have come to rely on and he delivered again. This time in the second minute of stoppage time, with his head on the end of a splendid cross, whipped in from the left by David Raum.

Moment Swiss fan is struck in the head by flying ball during Euros game... but it's the reaction of the supporter in front of him that's got people talking

This is the moment a Switzerland fan was hit flush in the face by a flying ball (left) in last night's Euros game - but it's the priceless reaction of the Scotland supporter (right) that has got people talking. More than 42,000 supporters rocked up to the Cologne Stadium in western Germany to watch Steve Clarke's men earn a precious 1-1 draw with the Swiss. The two teams battled it out in a hard-fought contest, but one unfortunate fan ended up on the receiving end of a wayward shot that sent his glasses flying. As Switzerland pushed for a winner in the 77th minute, winger Dan Ndoye cut inside and hit a powerful drive that went high over the crossbar and into the crowd behind the goal. A slow action replay shows fans raising their arms and turning their heads to deflect the ball away, inadvertently crunching it into the face of a baseball cap wearing Switzerland fan.

Gritty Scotland give themselves a chance of making history with progress to knockouts still a possibility after outperforming Switzerland, writes IAN HERBERT

IAN HERBERT IN COLOGNE: A tide of royal blue support on the banks of Rhine lifted Scotland to another level on Wednesday night and kept their place in these championships alive. The team they urged on were confronted by opponents who threatened them and just briefly, looked like they might bury them, but Scotland were lifted to another level. They took the point which means a win against Hungary in Stuttgart on Sunday could take them to the knock-out stages of a tournament for the first time. You would not say it was a European sophistication from Scotland. Just direct, vertical, muscular highly effective football. And it worked. Amid the cacophony of noise, they struck a post and could walk away in the knowledge that that were the better side.
