Euro 2024 - European Championship Matches in Frankfurt
Euro 2024 Group Stage
Monday, 17th June
Belgium 0-1
Slovakia
Ivan Schranz gave Slovakia an early lead against Belgium, getting on to the rebound after an unfortunate Jeremy Doku gifted the ball to Juraj Kucka; who saw his effort pushed away by Koen Casteels.
With four minutes left to play, VAR cancelled out a Lukaku goal; for the second time in this match.
Thursday, 20th June
Denmark 1-1 England
Kyle Walker's pace down the right was astounding, the cross into the middle ricocheted a little, but Harry Kane was there to score his 64th goal for England.
All the good work was undone when, instead of pushing on for a second, sloppy England passing, a failure to press Denmark, and lazy defensive positioning resulted in Sporting Lisbon's Morten Hjulmand seeing the opportunity for a long range effort; in off the post past Jordan Pickford.
Sunday, 23rd June
Switzerland 1-1 Germany
The hosts thought they took the lead in the 17th minute through Robert Andrich, but an official look at the big screen ruled the goal out; as Jamal Musiala had crashed into Swiss defender Michel Aebischer during the build-up.
Ten minutes later, it was Switzerland's goal getting a second look on VAR, but Dan Ndoye wasn't to be disappointed. Within a minute later, the Bologna forward almost added a second.
Switzerland almost made it two just before the end; but Ruben Vargas was flagged for offside: tight, but right.
The stadium erupted when Niclas Füllkrug equalised for Germany in the last minute of stoppage time.
Wednesday, 26th June
Slovakia 1-1 Romania
From a long cross, Ondrej Duda headed Slovakia in front in the 24th minute
Romania were back on level terms thirteen minutes later, as Răzvan Marin made no mistake from the penalty spot; awarded after Iania Hagi was fouled inside the area.
