The situation in Grop E remains open to any scenario after Ukraine put on a brilliant comeback against Slovakia to earn their first three points at Euro 2024.

After beating Belgium in the first tie, Slovakia seemed on course to achieve their second consecutive win and land the knockouts, but Ukraine's reaction in the second half overturned the result.

The Ukrainians burst with joy at minute 80' when Roman Yaremchuk scored the 2-1 after a class first-touch and finish.

Belgium will try to reach the other three group contenders at three points when it face off against Romania at 21.00 on Saturday.
