Slovakia 1-1 Romania and Ukraine 0-0 Belgium – Euro 2024: Live score, team news and updates with Ukraine heading OUT as it stands in group that could provide England’s next opponent

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

Shot for Dobvyk but Faes makes the block!

Zinchenko then has an effort but there is a dewflection and Casteels easily gathers the ball.

A game of football starting to break out 74 minutes into this game.

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

Jeremy Doku has been a huge threat on the left but his final ball is letting him down, as again shown as he gets past a defender and has a simple pass on offer to Romelu Lukaku but fails to find his man.

They are playing themselves into a very tough last-16 clash with France as things stand.

Not long after Carrasco has a thunderous effort which bounces off a Ukrainian player.

De Bruyne tries to find Doku but Ukraine break clear only for Dovbyk to fail to get past Faes.

End-to-end stuff!

Slovakia make attacking changes

The first change made by Slovakia today is a double attacking one.

David Strelec and Lukas Haraslin are replaced by Robert Bozenik and Tomas Suslov.

MATT BARLOW: Ukraine pushing forward

Matt Barlow at the MHPArena in Stuttgart;

With the other game level and Ukraine going out in fourth they have pushed forward in the last few minutes. Immediately creating more inviting spaces for the Belgians. De Bruyne picks the pass to Lukaku and forces a save as a direct consequence of Ukraine offering a little more adventure. Then the Carrasco run and shot, similar.

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

Great recovery from Ukraine’s Tymchyk.

At one end Ukraine lose the ball with Onana passing the ball to Lukaku who spins and finds Carrasco who bursts through.

Carrasco takes too much time which allows Tymchyk to get in the way and force the Belgian player to take a shot which goes straight at Trubin.

Tymchyk is limping after a great piece of defending.

Water is splashing off the surface of the pitch in the Slovakia vs Romania game, it looks very slippy and players will need to keep their composure – they are both through at the moment but plenty of time for that to still change.

Chance for Lukaku!

Romelu Lukaku forces a save from Trubin.

De Bruyne finds the striker who is desperate to work an opportunity after a quiet game so far and it’s a tame effort at the Ukrainian goalkeeper.

In the other game Slovakia have a big chance of their own with Haraslin sending a shot just wide.

Two changes for Belgium

Youri Tielemans and Leandro Trossard are replaced by Yannick Carrasco and Orel Mangala.

The storm has arrived in Frankfurt with an enormous crack of thunder rang around the stadium just before, and now extremely heavy rain is falling.

Slovakia 1-1 Romania

Romania are piling on the pressure in the other game as Marin forces a save out of Dubravka.

Denis Dragus then has the goalkeeper scrambling as he whips in a shot for the top corner but it goes narrowly over.

Relief for Slovakia.

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

Jeremy Doku gets in behind and plays in a dangerous ball but he needs to aim it for Romelu Lukaku, but instead plays it in front of the striker.

Zinchenko comes on for Belgium in place of Mykolenko while Sorescu replaces Coman in the other game for Romania.

Sorescu will play on the left-wing for the nation that are currently topping this group.

Injury concern for Ukraine

Good turn of pace from Doku as he tries to get away from Tymchyk.

The ball is played to the other side of the pitch and Castagne wins a corner.

Concern for Ukraine as Mykolenko appears uneasy, he only came in today after injury issues.

After the corner comes to nothing, Mykolenko drops to the ground, hopefully not a recurrent of his ankle ligament issue. Zinchenko is getting ready to come on.

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

Creative free-kick from De Bruyne who instead of placing the ball in the box, instead finds Tielemans on the outside but he doesn’t have enough time and Svatok closes him down.

The ball goes behind and Tielemans thinks he should have a corner but a goal kick is given.

Slovakia 1-1 Romania

Chance for Slovakia as a sliced clearance from a Romanian defender forces keeper Florin Nita to come out and punch.

Nita is very unhappy with his defence and is making his feelings clear.

Slovakia look closest to scoring at the start of this second-half and Haraslin forces a save out of Nita.

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

Mail Sport’s Matt Barlow reports there were warnings from the PA at the Ukraine vs Belgium game asking fans not to use laser pens after the incidents with De Bruyne in that opening half.

Some good work from Belgium with some nice passing outside the Ukraine box ends with Doku giving away a foul for standing on the foot of Shaparenko.

Off we go for the second-half

Slovakia’s game with Romania gets underway first before Ukraine’s clash with Belgium.

Big 45 minutes ahead.

Last-16 games if it stays like this

We could be in for a cracking game on Monday night if things stay as they are with Belgium taking on France.

Slovakia would join the Netherlands as potential last-16 opponents for England.

Romania would play another third-placed team.

Belgium will want to see more from Doku

Not been the best game so far for Jeremy Doku whose decision-making was questionable to say the least during the first-half.

Alan Shearer and Jose Fonte have both said that the Man City star has been ‘anonymous’ during the BBC’s half-time coverage, with the former striker also having similar criticism for Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard.

Achievement for Duda

Table as thing stand

Romania – 4 pointsBelgium – 4 pointsSlovakia – 4 pointsUkraine – 4 points

This could be an incredible second-half all four sides still have a chance of making the last-16, and England will be keeping a keen eye on who finishes third in the group.

HALF-TIME

The whistle goes in Stuttgart for half-time in the Ukraine vs Belgium game.

Burca is fouled for Romania in the other game and would be suspended for their last-16 clash if they do advance.

And the half-time goes in Frankfurt.

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

At one end De Bruyne digs out a shot which is saved by Trubin while Vertonghen almost gifts Ukraine a chance at the other end which Belgium are able to recover.

We are into stoppage time in both games.

Huge chance for Ukraine!

Ukraine have a massive chance as Shaparenko finds Yaremchuk who has the opportunity to hit the ball first time but he instead tries to cross the ball through to Dovbyk but it’s too powerful for his team-mate and the chance is gone.

Meanwhile there’s a yellow card for Faes for a late foul on Yaremchuk.

Belgium are getting outnumbered in midfield.

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

Big boos from the Ukraine fans who feel like they should have been awarded a foul but Belgium play on.

There is then a foul on Onana which forces Taylor to blow the whistle.

Painful one for Sudakov going from the replays as Onana accidently stood on his foot before he was then fouled.

Incredible atmosphere in Stuttgart for the game with Ukraine fans making huge noise and Belgium supporters not far behind them.

Goal:Slovakia 1-1 Romania (Marin 37)

What a thumping penalty by Marin who sends the keeper the wrong way and powers the ball into the top corner to pull Romania level.

Even if Dubravka went the right way, he didn’t stand a chance.

Absolute nerves of steele by Marin and we are back to all four sides level on four points as things stand which would mean Ukraine miss out.

Penalty for Romania!

There is significant contact with the shin and there is quite a wait here before a penalty is awarded!

The referee didn’t even look at the screen

There was contact outside the box but more contact in the penalty box and that has been given.

Penalty shout for Romania

There is a penalty shout in the Slovakia and Romania game as Hagi is fouled on the edge of the box.

A free-kick was given but VAR are taking a look at this…

De Bruyne annoyed with fans

Belgium have a chance here to either whip in a dangerous ball or take a shot as they have a free-kick in a dangerous position.

Only De Bruyne standing over the ball which when you hold his passing ability why would anybody else take it.

He has some words with Anthony Taylor and points to the crowd and it is because he has a laser being pointed at his face.

The Man City star then whips a free-kick which nearly catches Trubin out but goes just wide.

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

Poor effort by Sudakov!

Ukraine break on the counter attack with one pass anbd Dovbyk has so much time to do something with it. Whether he shoots or passes to Yaremchuk, but instead he passes to Sudakov who clearly didn’t expect the pass given how far he blasted the ball over the bar.

Table as things stand

Slovakia – 6 pointsBelgium – 4 pointsUkraine – 4 pointsRomania – 3 points

Goal:Slovakia 1-0 Romania (Ondrej Duda 23)

Slovakia score the first goal of the day and it is as simple as you like!

A dangerous ball is whipped into the box and Duda is left with acres of space and he heads it down into the corner out of reach for Romanian goalkeeper Nita.

They move top of the group as things stand

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

Yaremchuk has acres of space outside the box and he takes his chance but it goes straight at Casteel who palms the ball down to the ground before collecting it.

Belgium then lose the ball after some miscommunication and Dovbyk shoots from outside the box and it is well wide of the post.

Over in the other game Slovakia come so close to opening the scoring as a free-kick is curled for the far post and bounces agonisingly wide.

Captain Milian Skriniar was inches from getting a foot onto the ball.

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

Belgium appeal for a penalty as two players go down in the box along with a Ukrainian player though referee Anthony Taylor waves on and doesn’t believe there was any foul.

Meanwhile Kevin De Bruyne almost finds Youri Tielemans after the ball was chested down to him by Romelu Lukaku but Ukraine are making it awkward and making it difficult for Belgium to break them down.

Slovakia 0-0 Romania

Romania and Slovakia could both go through with a draw.

But both sides want victory and Romania come close as Razvan Marin fires for goal with a 30-yard free kick which arrows narrowly wide.

Ukraine fans show off banner amid war with Russia

Matt Barlow at the MHPArena in Stuttgart;

Ukraine fans have unfurled banners behind Trubin’s goal that says ‘Peace has a Price’ and “thousands of football fans have been killed in the war since February 2022”.Very emotional… could be their last game at the tournament.Belgian fans applauded right the way through the Ukrainian anthem.

Huge chance for Romania

Some lovely play from Romania as they work a chance for Ratiu who tries to curl into the far corner but Dubravka does brilliantly to dive and tip the ball away.

A Romania player does win the ball back but fires an effort over the bar.

First real effort in that game.

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

De Bruyne has started this game very well passing the ball around very nice.

Belgium feel like they should have a free-kick for a tackle on his Man City team-mate Jeremy Doku.

A replay shows a lovely backheel from De Bruyne who looks on it.

Chance for Belgium!

Chance for Belgium!

It is a charging run by Kevin De Bruyne and he plays a lovely threaded ball through to Romelu Lukaku who scuffs his shot straight into the hands of Ukraine goalkeeper Trubin.

Lukaku should have done better with that chance but a warning for Ukraine.

Slovakia 0-0 Romania

Slovakia have made a bright start putting in a couple of crosses though Romania have done well to cut them out.

Not too much in the way of chances yet.

Youri Tielemans tries to thread through Romelu Lukaku in the Belgium match but the striker is cut out at the last second.

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

Anthony Taylor has been alerted to something and he speaks to Belgium goalkeeper Casteels before resuming play. Not sure exactly what that was.

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

Roman Yaremchuk wins the first corner of the game inside 25 seconds for Ukraine.

The corner comes to nothing but a dangerous cross is put back into the mixer but Belgium defend well.

KICK-OFF

The teams in Stuttgart have a bit of a wait on their hand as they aim to kickp-off at the same time as Belgium vs Ukraine.

But they get away a couple of seconds before as we have kick-off at both games.

Anthony Taylor the man in the middle for Belgium vs Ukraine

The Romanian and Slovakian players gather in a huddle each side of the pitch as they are about to kick-off.

Meanwhile the Ukraine players are all draped in their national flag for their national anthem and as they greet the opposing team.

It is an English officiating team for the Belgium vs Ukraine match, with Anthony Taylor the man in the middle.

Time for the national anthems

The national anthems get underway at the Romania vs Slovakia match, as the two teams head out in Stuttgart.

Teams heading into the tunnel

The players from all four sides are heading into the tunnels and at the Slovakia vs Romania match, they are already heading out onto the pitch.

Hopefully we’re in for a cracking afternoon full of goals and drama.

Just 15 minutes to go!
