Our 10 favourite Euro 2012 moments so far - in pictures

Denmark's upset of Holland The Netherlands entered the tournament as one of the favourites and the Danes as also-rans in the Group of Death. Holland dominated the game but were wasteful in front of goal, which was not a charge that could be aimed at Michael Krohn-Dehli, whose wonderfully taken first-half goal decided the game Photograph: Michael Buholzer/Reuters

The Republic of Ireland fans They came under criticism from Roy Keane but were enjoyed by everyone else as their sea of green provided a vivid backdrop to the three Ireland games. It was just a shame the players couldn't match the fans' performance Photograph: Adam Ciereszko/EPA

Andres Iniesta's tiki-taka brilliance The midfielder, who scored the winning goal in the 2010 World Cup final, has been brilliant in Spain's three group games, providing much of the team's cutting thrust Photograph: Claudio Villa/Getty Images

Mario Gomez proving his doubters wrong Most of the German public wanted Miroslav Klose to start up front but Joachim Low opted for Gomez. The Bayern Munich striker rewarded him with the only goal against Portugal and two against Holland Photograph: Kerim Okten/EPA

Andrei Shevchenko's brace against Sweden Ukraine's footballing icon scored two fantastic headers in their opening game against Sweden to provide the hosts a come-from-behind-victory and a fairytale finish to the 35-year-old's international career Photograph: Martin Rose/Getty Images

Jakub Blaszczykowski's equaliser against Russia The other hosts, Poland, had their big moment the following night in the most heated match-up of the group stage, against Russia. After rioting on the streets, captain Jakub Blaszczykowski scored one of the goals of the tournament by cutting in off the right and firing a left-footed shot into the top corner Photograph: Janek Skarzynski/AFP/Getty Images

Danny Welbeck's winner against Sweden England's see-saw 3-2 victory in their second group match was capped by a moment of exquisite skill by Danny Welbeck, as he adjusted his body to flick Theo Walcott's cross into the far corner Photograph: Martin Rose/Getty Images

Cristiano Ronaldo's performance against Holland After miserable displays in Portugal's first two games, the Real Madrid star turned in arguably the individual performance of the group stage. He was a constant menace to the Holland goal and struck twice to ensure it was Portugal who joined Germany in the quarter-finals Photograph: Lars Baron/Getty Images

Mario Balotelli's volley against Ireland The goal itself was good, an acrobatic last-minute volley, but it was the celebration that will live in the memory, as he was prevented from opening his mouth by the hand of team-mate Leonardo Bonucci Photograph: Adam Ciereszko/EPA

Zlatan Ibrahimovic knocking France down to second Ibrahimovic was the only Swedish player to emerge from their opening two defeats with much credit, and was superb in their final group game, scoring a brilliant volley. The result meant France slipped down to second place in their group and now face a daunting quarter-final with Spain Photograph: Julian Finney/Getty Images
