There was late drama and shocks in Thursday’s group fixtures.
Now it’s time to look ahead to what day eight of EURO 2024 will bring.
Ukraine will aim to get their Group E campaign finally up and running in the early game with Slovakia.
Poland and Austria are also looking for their first points on the board in Group D’s clash from Berlin.
And the day ends with another heavyweight clash as the Netherlands and France go head-to-head in Leipzig.
On paper, the Netherlands’ chances of pulling off a shock against France appear slim – even with Kylian Mbappé’s potential absence.
But Wout Weghorst has become Ronald Koeman’s not-so-secret weapon after scoring a winner against Poland in their Group D opener with Poland.
The Burnley marksman’s strike was his third of four major tournament goals to arrive as a substitute and could deliver another late scare off the bench.
Mbappé’s involvement for France is by no means guaranteed after suffering a broken nose but if selected, he will at least have an eye-catching protective mask.
Slovakia 1-1 Ukraine
Poland 2-1 Austria
Netherlands 0-2 France
