The road to Berlin is now set ahead of the last-16 stage at Euro 2024.
Hosts Germany finished top of Group A with Switzerland second after Niclas Fullkrug’s last-gasp equaliser in their last game. The Swiss will next play Italy, who snatched a late draw in Group B to join Spain in the next round on Monday night.
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 next up in the last-16.
A tense finish to Group E on Wednesday saw Ukraine sent home after a draw with Belgium, who face France up next. Portugal had already sealed top spot in Group F when losing to Georgia in their final game, sending the minnows through along with Turkey.
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.
