Euro's 2016
The above scoreline is correct because Portugal were deemed to be the home team, but betfair's ordering of the teams wasn't.
I've been harping on about their incorrect data for weeks, and yes, they did it again last night, awarding a 'goal' when the ball had sailed past the post - before cancelling it.
They, or their data providers, seem to enjoy finding new ways of getting simple things wrong.

Many are struggling to believe Portugal were the winner of euro2016 but let's not forget how many times Portugal were on the unlucky side.
Overall I have really enjoyed watching this competition.
Two of the top favorites being knockout by Iceland ( England ) and Wales ( Belgium ) was incredible for my point of view but not impossible. England and Belgium have the same spirit when they go into the competition. The players are talented but too spolied to behave like they are wearing an important shirt. Only they can think of is the next party, how many escorts they can hire and perhaps sniffing a bit of white staff. They are allergic to hard work. Perhaps Guardiola, Mourinho and Conte will change that lazy attitude or perhaps their respective locker room will kick those 3 out of the premier league sooner than later. Who knows.
The reason why Germany, France and Spain have underperformed is due to the fact that many of the players of these amazing teams play at high levels throughout the year on 4 fronts, including national during qualifying stages. It did really shows their lack of inspiration and lack of energy.
As for Italy which have only been knocked out after 9 penalties against Germany it was the opposite of the 3 Nationals I have mentioned above. With the exception of the defence block, most of the players have played throw the all year without much pressure, from midfields to the attacking block was one of the worse of italian history but physically strong and with nothing to lose. Besides all that negative aspects A. Conte did show some outstanding tactical against underperforming football superpowers.
Croatia was the best team overall, the solidity of team was spot on in every fields. It was surprisingly shocking when on extra time they were out because of the unexpected Portugal performance. In this competitions luck is a big and most of times underestimated factor. Perhaps in 4-8 years Croatia will take the trophy underservedly like it has been happening most of the times or may never happens but like Euler always said there is one thing certain on these competitions, always LAY England...
