Live Updates

Well that draws an end to day eight at Euro 2016. Wins for Italy and Spain who reach the knock-out phase, while a draw between Czech Republic and Croatia was overshadowed by a succession of flares disrupting the second half in Saint Etienne.

And with that our live coverage comes to a conclusion. We're back with live coverage of all three games tomorrow including Belgium against Republic of Ireland. Until then, goodbye.

Full time: Spain 3-0 Turkey

As comprehensive a win as you'll see at Euro 2016. The defending champions cruise into the last 16 after disposing of a woeful Turkey in Nice. Alvaro Morata silenced his critics with two goals, one in either half, sandwiching Nolito's cute volley. Turkey may not be out of the tournament but with their captain Arda Turan being booed for long periods, you can tell how toxic the atmosphere is within the camp.

Two added minutes in Nice. Not sure we'll need them.

Olcay Şahan comes close to ending that run for De Gea, but after his first effort is blocked it ricochets off him and behind. What a waste.

The records continue to tumble for Spain.

The boos and whistles are growing for Arda Turan, who is becoming a figure of real derision among the travelling Turkey fans. Fatih Terim is not expected to stay beyond this tournament and you can understand why, this has been a pitiful display.

This match in a nutshell sums up why this expanded 24-team European Championships really is a travesty. Games are either hopelessly one-sided or teams, know third place will ensure a last 16 place play negative and defensive football and will take their chance in the knock-out phase. Well done Uefa.

Yunus Mallı curls hopelessly over for Turkey. A mexican wave is going around the Stade de Nice. This game ended as a contest a long time ago.

Wonderful view of Spain's third goal. Back to their very best.

Bruno straight into the action as Spain work it well and his left-foot shot is turned behind by Babacan.

Turkey's fans turning on their own players, Arda Turan included, as this performance goes from bad to worse. The Barcelona midfielder responds with a thumbs up to his own support, presumably sarcastically.

David Silva off and Bruno Soriano on for Spain. Turkey will be delighted to see the Man City man depart, he's be terrific this evening as he was earlier in the week.

David Silva twice goes close to making it four. First his effort is deflected wide before his shoots behind in the inside right channel of the area. Spain toying with Turkey frankly, they can pick a number here.

Yilmaz turns inside Sergio Ramos and with the goal at his mercy curls wildly over. Great chance for Turkey to add some respectability to a result which is looking increasingly likely to end in embarrassment.

Goal: Spain 3-0 Turkey (Alvaro Morata)

Spain become the first team to register three times in a single game and they secure the points as Alvaro Morata doubles up with the easiest goal of his career. Iniesta threads the ball through to Alba who will the goal gaping lays it on to Morata who taps home.

Second half underway in Nice. Big task facing Turkey, who are against a Spain team who have not conceded for over 600 minutes in this competitions.

Spain out early for the second half. Turkey's players lingering in the tunnel as they wait for all their players to assemble. On their way now. Hakan Çalhanoğlu off and Nuri Sahin on for the second half.

Half time: Spain 2-0 Turkey

One way traffic in Nice. Goals for Alvaro Morata and Nolito have Spain leading by two at the break, but you wonder how many more they may plunder after the break. Turkey are not out of the competition with their result, but they may as well be.

David Silva has a chance to make it three but totally miscues from a free-kick played back to the edge of the penalty area. Spain looking to cash in here. Remember a win puts them through tonight.

Goal: Spain 2-0 Turkey (Nolito)

Turkey at sixes and sevens at the back and Spain double their lead. Fabregas plays a delightful chipped through ball which Topal heads into the air and behind him and onrushing Nolito skews into the corner on the volley. Another soft goal but it is nothing more than Spain deserve.

Goal: Spain 1-0 Turkey (Alvaro Morata)

A message to his critics from Alvaro Morata who nods Spain ahead after 34 minutes. Nolito has far too much room to cross from an inside left position and Morata gets in between Topal and Balta to flick into the far corner. Lovely header and the reigning champions are off and running.

The defending champions are getting closer. It is the other rampaging full-back Juanfran who threatens now, getting down the right and cross where Nolito can't get proper contact on a shot which rolls wide.

Spain are being restricted to rare glimpses of goal but there is one of their better ones as Nolito gets in between the lines, and curls beyond Babacan but wide of the left-hand post.

Turkey are much-improved from their opening game, moving the ball much better in midfield, with the likes of Inan and Turan picking the ball up in between the lines. Space opens up for Çalhanoğlu, but he lashes over from 25 yards.

Morata almost gets on the end of Alba's cross which is turned behind by Topal. The subsequent corner is headed into the ground and over by Gerard Pique. First genuine chance

Another booking, this time for Yilmaz who hands off Sergio Busquests to the chest, which sees the Spain midfield throw himself to the floor. It looked nasty in real time, but the replays do no favours for the Barcelona man - who of the movie parts he could play Ironman wouldn't be one of them.

Alvaro Morata is the talk of Spain after his failure to score against the Czech Republic. He attempts to make amends inside six minutes, forcing Babacan into turning the ball behind.

Spain on the front foot immediately but crucially they seem to be spreading the ball wide earlier in the attack. Turkey are nice and compact in the middle and very happy to concede the ball on the wings.

Yellow card inside the first minute for Sergio Ramos after he knocks Burak Yilmaz off his feet. The Turkey forward was away in fairness, though the challenge did take place a good 45 yards from goal.

Anthems over and we're underway in Nice.

Nice stat to kick us off. More late goals tonight?

Teams in the tunnel in Nice. Hopefully football can recapture the headlines at Euro 2016. We have just had the highest scoring game of the tournament so far; can these two beat that?

Just to build on the previous post; IBTimes UK has a number of fans in France documenting their experience. Our England Tom O'Dea told us over the weekend that the weak security at Euro 2016 meant fans could easily get an explosive into the ground. Here is the rest of his first entry, which followed the events in Marseille.

So once again we find ourselves talking about incident away from football, during a tournament which threatening to be overshadowed by violence and indiscretions. The security operation in France has been a shambles from start to finish, as has the distribution of tickets which have fallen into the hands of those wishing to disrupt and destroy the image of football.

Former Croatia manager Slaven Bilic on ITV: "It is sad we have to talk about this issue. there are many fans against the [Croatian] FA. We are the biggest Uefa sponsors. Some of them [fans] are there on a mission. It probably isn't the last time. It's mostly between the north and the south."

Some frank reaction from Croatia manager Ante Cacic on the flares which disrupted the 2-2 draw with Czech Republic.

The final matchday two game in Group D sees Spain, who were mighty impressive but fortunate to see off Czech Republic in their opening game, take on a Turkey side who flattered to deceive against Croatia. Victory for Vicente del Bosque's men will see them qualify, and leave Turkey very much on the brink.

BREAKING: Back to events on the field, and the team's for tonight's match have been confirmed. Spain unchanged, Turkey bring in Burak Yilmaz.

Spain: De Gea, Juanfran, Ramos, Pique, Alba, Busquets, Iniesta, Fabregas, Silva, Nolito, Morata

Turkey: Volkan, Gonul, Topal, Balta, Erkin, Tufan, Inan, Ozyakup, Calhanoglu, Yilmaz, Turan

Worth noting, before we conclude our coverage on the Czech Republic-Croatia game, that Croatia are already scating on thin ice with football's governors. They were deducted a point during European Championship qualifying after fans marked a swastika into the turf ahead of the game against Italy, a game which was played behind closed doors due to racist chanting and setting off fireworks in the previous qualifier against Norway.

Racism was repeated in the friendlies with Israel and Hungary, meaning Croatia's first two home World Cup qualifiers will also be played behind closed doors. Supporters also fought with Mexican fans during the 2014 World Cup.

Full time in Saint Etienne where Czech Republic have drawn 2-2 with Croatia. A dramatic end to the game after Croatia were two goals up before surrendering their lead after a lengthy delay caused by their own supporters, who launched flares onto the outfield. Incredible how they have contributed to their own team's downfall.

And quiet incredibly the Czech Republic have snatched the most unlikely of points despite barely figuring in the game but in the third minute of stoppage time Tomas Necid has scored a stoppage time penalty. Croatia shocked.

Back to events in Saint Etienne where Croatian fans have forced the game to be stopped after flares were thrown onto the pitch. Scuffles have since broken out in that end, with fans quick to seperate as the violent scenes continue. Uefa will have plenty to say about. Madness, with your own team winning 2-1.

Before we turn our attention to Spain vs Turkey, let me draw your attention to the other game in Group D going on right now between Czech Republic and Croatia, where goals from Ivan Perisic and Ivan Rakitic have the Croats ahead. Head here for coverage of the dying embers of that game.

After double success for the Brits on Thursday, we end the first full week at Euro 2016 with another clash with teams from the continent. Reigning champions Spain are looking to continue on their route towards history by claiming a third European Championship title, and begun their campaign impressively by beating Czech Republic. Turkey meanwhile are looking to breathe new life into their last 16 hopes after a tame showing in the loss to Croatia. All the build up ahead of the 8pm kick-off in Nice, as well as the breaking team news, on the way.
