The Euro 2016 group stages are over and sixteen teams have confirmed their places in the knockout stages.

Here, we look at five of the best goals to be scored in the opening two weeks of the tournament.

DIMITRI PAYET (FRANCE v ROMANIA)

The opening match produced one of the best strikes from the host nation as Payet cut in from the right and fired a left-footed shot into the top corner for an 89th-minute winner.

LUKA MODRIC (CROATIA v TURKEY)

The Real Madrid midfielder struck the only goal of the game and it was a blinder, a dropping volley hit on the run from 25 yards.

EMANUELE GIACCHERINI (ITALY v BELGIUM)

Not the most spectacular goal seen in France so far but Leonardo Bonucci’s vision and superb execution to pick out Giaccherini 45 yards away was brilliant in itself, allowing the Sunderland winger to kill it with his left foot and tuck away the goal with his right.

WES HOOLAHAN (IRELAND v SWEDEN)

The Norwich midfielder displayed excellent technique to keep control of his 16-yard half-volley from Seamus Coleman’s cross, clipping a curling shot just inside the post.

CRISTIANO RONALDO (PORTUGAL v HUNGARY)

The Real Madrid star turned up when his country needed him the most, producing an exquisite backheel flick behind his standing leg to divert Joao Maria’s right-wing cross.
