The final whistle is blown. Chris Burke, Donbass Arena: European champions Spain have moved a step closer to defending their title thanks to a pair of goals from Xabi Alonso on his 100th appearance. France adopted a cautious approach from the start and never really troubled La Roja, who now face Portugal here in Donetsk on Wednesday.

The referee blows for half-time. Chris Burke, Donbass Arena: France have been inching further forward since Spain took the lead but they will need to commit more bodies to really trouble the holders – unless they can make one of their set pieces count. Spain look like they could increase their rhythm again at any given moment, however.
