Romania and Slovakia with a 1:1 score, as well as Belgium with a “nil draw” against Ukraine, who were eliminated, qualified this Wednesday for the round of 16 of the 2024 European Football Championship, which will be held in Germany.
The Slovaks won with Ondrej Duda’s goal in the 24th minute, but the Romanians restored equality in the 37th thanks to Razvan Marin’s penalty, moving from fourth to first in the group.
Four teams scored four points each, and the tiebreaker was decided by goals: Romania (4-3) was first, Belgium (2-1) second, Slovakia (3-3) third and Ukraine (2-4) fourth.
In the Round of 16, Romania will face the third group from Group C (Slovenia) or D (Netherlands), Belgium will play France, and the winner will be able to face Portugal in the quarters, while Slovakia will face Spain or England.
