Three matches were held as part of the 4th game day of the Euro 2024 in Germany.

Group "E"

Belgium - Slovakia (0:1)

The Belgians, who have never lost in 14 matches under the leadership of Domenico Tedesco, lost to the Slovaks, conceding the only goal in the seventh minute. The Slovaks took advantage of the mistake of Belgian Jeremy Doku — it was he who carelessly passed into his penalty area, and a couple of seconds later Ivan Schranz scored the winning goal from finishing.

Most of the match took place under enormous pressure from the Belgian national team, who missed several great moments. The antihero is Romelu Lukaku. The best scorer in the history of Belgium (85 goals) I didn't take advantage of two chances in the first half, and after the break I finally scored, and twice - but both goals were cancelled out. Romelu scored the first goal from a small offside position, the second was not counted due to the fact that Lua Openda, who assisted him, played with his hand.

In the next round, the Belgians will face Romania. Slovakia will play Ukraine.

Romania — Ukraine (3:0)

Ukrainians have brought one of the best generations in their history to the European Championship. It seemed that the stars of the Premier League and La Liga would not notice modest Romania, which had previously won only one victory in the final part of the tournament — in 2000, beat England (3:2) in the final round of the group stage. But everything did not go according to the plan of Rebrov's team.

Nicolae Stancu opened the scoring with a gorgeous long-range shot in the 29th minute. The Romanian captain took advantage of the inconsistency of Nikolai Matvienko and Andrei Lunin — the defender gave the goalkeeper under pressure, and he took the ball straight to the opponent's feet. In the second half, Romania doubled the advantage with another shot from afar — and again the goal happened thanks to a mistake by the goalkeeper of Real Madrid: Lunin missed the ball at hand. Almost immediately, Romania finished off the floating opponent with the third ball.

Ukrainians started the Euro with a failure, and Romania scored the biggest victory at major tournaments in the country's history. 3:0 — absolutely to the point.

Group "D"

Austria — France (0:1)

Under the leadership of Didier Deschamps, the French national team plays at the Euro in the status of one of the main favorites, so it would be unpleasant to make a mistake in the first round.

The French pressed in the first half, but rarely created chances. The Austrians also rarely threatened Mike Menyan's goal, but they showed off their defensive skills — in just 45 minutes they became the leaders of the tournament in terms of the number of selections (19). Even France's goal turned out to be quite accidental: the French covered the opponent in the right corner of the penalty area, after which Kylian Mbappe hung, and Austrian defender Maximilian Weber cut the ball into his own goal. The score became 1-0, thanks to an autogall.

The second half was mostly under the control of the Austrians, but their possession rarely led to dangerous moments. The French periodically stung with counterattacks — after one of them Mbappe even flew one-on-one, but shot past the goal. Rangnik's wards ended the match without any real scoring chances — the Tricolor scored three points in economy mode, but probably lost their main star.

After giving a free kick, Kilian unsuccessfully punched his head and tangentially crashed into the defender's shoulder: judging by the footage of the displaced nasal septum and the amount of time doctors spent to stop the bleeding, we may be talking about a fracture.

France will play the Netherlands in the next match.
