There were several ripped shirts and even a burst ball during France's 0-0 draw with Switzerland on Sunday at the European Championship.

The scoreless result was good enough for both teams, with the host French taking first place in Group A and the Swiss moving on to the round of 16 in second place.

France twice hit the crossbar as they again squandered numerous chances, but the torn Switzerland shirts and the ball being ripped apart during a challenge will likely end up being the most memorable moments of the match at Stade Pierre Mauroy.

Switzerland midfielder Admir Mehmedi's shirt was torn in the first half, forcing him to the sidelines for a backup. Teammate Granit Xhaka then had his ripped once in each half.

Then there was an issue with the official adidas “Beau Jeu” ball. As France pushed for a goal in the second half, forward Antoine Griezmann was dribbling when Switzerland midfielder Valon Behrami stepped in to tackle. The two converged on the ball and it burst, with Behrami picking up the deflated leather and showing it to Slovenian referee Damir Skomina.

Just like in previous games against Romania and Albania, France failed to turn pressure into goals. Paul Pogba hit the crossbar in the first half with a swerving shot from 25 metres and substitute Dimitri Payet did the same in the 75th minute with a superb volley.

The Swiss threatened mainly on the break, using the pace of 19-year-old striker Breel Embolo, but France looked more likely to score as Payet went wide with another shot from outside the area.

But which players impressed as Group A came to a close? Check out our ratings and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

SWITZERLAND

Yann Sommer: His handling was questionable at times, but he again proved himself an excellent shot-stopper. Rating: 6/10

Stephan Lichtsteiner Switzerland's captain patrolled the right flank, and combined well with Shaqiri. 7/10

Fabian Schar Threatened in the air at corners, and stood up to the physical presence of Gignac. 7/10

Yann Sommer played a key part in helping keep France out (Getty)

Johan Djourou Moments of carelessness continue to plague his game. 5/10

Ricardo Rodriguez Struggled when Sissoko took the game to him, he will be relieved that wasn't too often. 6/10

Valon Behrami Overrun early on, he battled well in midfield - evident by the strong challenge on Griezmann that burst the ball. 6/10

Granit Xhaka Spent most of the game in his own half, he rarely wasted a pass. 7/10

Xherdan Shaqiri Another who improved after a slow start, he then grew frustrated when decisions went against him. 6/10

Blerim Dzemaili Played in the hole, he failed to give Embolo either the service or support to trouble the French defence. 6/10


 Breel Embolo could not be faulted for effort but was unable to trouble the French backline (Getty)

Admir Mehmedi Showed good touches at times on the left, and should have won a penalty at the death when his run to goal was impeded by Sagna. 6/10

Breel Embolo Handed a start ahead of the misfiring Seferovic, the teenager was a willing runner. His composure let him down, however, and he may struggle to keep his place. 6/10

FRANCE

Hugo Lloris Another quiet evening for the captain of France, who didn't have a single shot on target to save. 6/10

Bacary Sagna Fortunate to survive a late penalty shout for his pull on Mehmedi, it would have spoilt an otherwise solid performance. 6/10

Adil Rami Booked when his overhead kick connected with an opponent, he was kept busy by Embolo's energy. 6/10

Solid showing but lucky not to give away a late penalty (Getty)

Laurent Koscielny France's other centre-half was also cautioned, but was otherwise solid to Switzerland's rare attacking threats. 7/10

Patrice Evra The 35-year-old started his third consecutive European Championship game, and offered little dynamism on the left. 5/10

Moussa Sissoko Anonymous for large spells, one brilliant burst down the right and cross set up what was nearly a sensational Payet winner. 6/10

Yohan Cabaye Came into the French side, and was a ferocious midfield tackler in Kante's absence. 8/10

Paul Pogba Began as if he had a point to prove, he hit the bar twice as he dominated play. Less influential as the game went on. 7/10

Kingsley Coman The teenager tried his luck on both flanks, but was eventually replaced after failing to make an impact. 6/10

Quiet for long spells but set up Payet for rasping volley (Getty)

Andre-Pierre Gignac Worked himself into the ground, but a lack of pace and agility meant he drew a blank. 6/10

Antoine Griezmann Another disappointing evening for the Atletico Madrid man who, a neat one-two and shot aside, offered little. 5/10
