Both Groups E and F reached their conclusion on Wednesday with no group as tight Group E, not just in this edition of the Euros, but ever.
For the first time in European Championship history, all four teams – Romania, Belgium, Slovakia and Ukraine – started the day level on three points after two games. By Wednesday evening, Romania had finished top, Belgium were second, Slovakia qualified as one of the best third-place teams and Ukraine were eliminated on goal difference.
It was clearer in Group F with Portugal already guaranteed to finish top of the pool. However, Georgia’s shock victory over Cristiano Ronaldo’s side secured a surprise third-place in the group – and qualification for the knockouts – at the expense of the Czech Republic. Turkey beat the Czech Republic to finish as group runners-up.
