Euro ’24: Big disappointment for Belgium as France beat Austria in a tense match

Slovakia achieved one of the most significant upsets in European Championship history by beating Belgium in Group E on Monday.

Belgium, ranked third in the world and favorites to lead Group E before the match, are now trailing after a wasteful performance in Frankfurt, coupled with controversial refereeing decisions.

Chances came and went and Romelu Lukaku squandered several chances before two second-half goals were ruled out by VAR.

The first was a clear offside, but the second was a more controversial decision with less than three minutes of normal time remaining.

Ivan Schranz helped Slovakia live the day when he latched onto Jeremy Doku’s loose pass in the first half to give Slovakia a hard-earned 1-0 win.

Elsewhere in Group D, France held on to secure a 1-0 win over Austria in a tense encounter that saw Kylian Mbappe’s cross headed into his own net by Maximilian Wöber.
