A close-range header from Portugal substitute Ricardo Quaresma has secured a 1-0 win over Croatia after the game burst into life in the last few minutes of extra time to set up a Euro 2016 quarter-final against Poland next week.

Quaresma struck three minutes from the end of the extra period after a Cristiano Ronaldo shot was saved by Danijel Subasic to settle the tie just a minute after Croatia's Ivan Perisic hit the post with a header.

Croatia had done well to shut out Nani and Ronaldo but their own forward Mario Mandzukic was left desperately alone up front, getting no deliveries or support.

It was left to Quaresma to come off the bench and settle the match although Vida almost equalised at the death.

Earlier Northern Ireland’s tournament was ended by Wales thanks to a Gareth McAuley own goal.

The plucky Irish had the better of much of the match before a Gareth Bale 76th minute cross was deflected in by McAuley.

Wales will meet the winner of Belgium and Hungary on the last eight.

Poland needed penalties to see of Switzerland in Saint-Etienne.

The riveting contest ended 1-1 after extra time and it only took one mistake from Switzerland to see Poland run out 5-4 winners on penalties.

Jakub Blaszczykowski gave the Poles a 39th minute lead before Xherdan Shaqiri levelled with a spectacular bicycle kick eight minutes from time.

30 minutes of extra time failed to deliver the decisive goal and the teams headed to spot kicks.

New Arsenal signing Granit Xhaka was the only player to miss a penalty and when Grezgorz Krychowiak slotted away his effort the match was won.

Poland face Portugal in the quarter-finals.
