Knockout stages are now set for Euro 2024
The road to Berlin is now set as the last-16 stage continues at Euro 2024.
Hosts Germany finished top of Group A with Switzerland second after Niclas Fullkrug’s last-gasp equaliser in their last game. That secured the Swiss a last-16 clash against Italy, one they came through in impressive fashion to reach the quarter-finals. Germany followed them hours later by dispatching Denmark in the rain.
France shockingly failed to win Group D after being held to a dramatic draw by Poland, with Austria taking top spot instead following their stunning win over the Netherlands in Berlin.
England were already assured of a place in the last-16 when they sealed first place with a poor goalless draw with Slovenia, who joined Denmark in also making it through to the knockout stages. The third-placed league table fell in the Three Lions’ favour too, with Slovakia eventually dispatched 2-1 after a dramatic turnaround in Gelsenkirchen.
A tense finish to Group E on Wednesday saw Ukraine sent home after a draw with Belgium, who lost late to France last week. Portugal had already sealed top spot in Group F when losing to Georgia in their final game, sending the minnows through along with Turkey. Selecao edged past Slovenia on penalties on Monday.
The 24-team tournament has now lost eight teams at the first hurdle. The top two of each group qualified automatically for the last-16 and the four top-ranked third-placed finishers have joined them in a pre-determined draw.
