Group D Leaders Spain grabbed a last minute 2-1 win against Sweden after goals from David Villa and Liverpool ace Fernando Torres in Innsbruck to book a place in the knockout stages.
Torres broke the deadlock in the 15th minute after Xavi Hernandez played a low ball in towards the front post for Villa, who in turn found Valencia club-mate David Silva on the edge of the box and his cross back in towards the six-yard box was stabbed home by the stretching Torres.
Sweden leveled things up in the 34th minute through Ibrahimovic in what was a closely-fought first half.
Spain fans felt their side should have won a penalty on the stroke of half-time when Silva went crashing under an aerial challenge from Johan Elmander, but the referee waved play on as the half finished level.
Spain waited until stoppage time to steal a win after a powerful run from Villa - brushing off a weak tackle from Petter Hansson to hammer past Andreas Isaksson for the in form striker's 4th Euro 2008 goal.
