(CNN) -- Euro 2012 hosts Ukraine were brought back down to earth after their opening match heroics as France clinched a 2-0 victory in stormy Donetsk. Play in the Group D match was suspended for 58 minutes as spectacular torrential rain and forked lightning put the players' safety at risk. When the teams returned to the field, the French made their superior technical ability count as clinical second-half strikes from Jeremy Menez and Yohan Cabaye sealed a comfortable win. In Group D's other game, England won a thrilling contest against Sweden to dump the Scandinavians out of the tournament. Soccer Live: Euro 2012 day 8 as it happened
