It’s the break !
Slovakia are creating a sensation at half-time in this round of 16 match against the Three Lions. Thanks to their serial scorer Schranz, Skriniar’s teammates are leading 1-0. England will have to do much more if they want to stay alive in this Euro.

Mainoo Strike! (1-0, 47′)
The English midfielder tries his luck from distance but it’s off target.

18:43
The foot imprecise! (1-0, 42′)
The English genius from Manchester City tries a deep pass from the left for Trippier but it is too long and it goes out of goal.
18:40
Good free kick for the English! (1-0, 38′)
Bellingham recovers a good foul on the right on the edge of the box. The Slovakian defence defends the free-kick well and Dubravka makes a good save in front of Bellingham as the ball comes back into the box.
18:35
Bellingham gets the corner! (1-0, 34′)
Bellingham enters the left side of the Slovak area and attempts a left-footed cross but it is blocked. An English foul is called on the following corner.
18:32
The Three Lions try to react! (1-0, 32′)
Saka overflows on the right side but misses his cross for Foden, Kane tries the same thing on the other side but also lacks precision.
18:30
Ivan Schranz at the top of the scorers’ rankings!
With his third goal in this Euro 2024, Ivan Schranz rises to the top of the competition’s scorers’ rankings alongside Jamal Musiala and Georges Mikautadze.
18:26
And Schranz’s goal! (1-0, 25′)
Schranz opens the scoring for Slovakia! The English defence is left in a rut as Strelec’s magnificent pass is sent to Schranz who wins his one-on-one against Pickford! 1-0 to Slovakia!
18:24
Double chance for England! (0-0, 23′)
Very big sequence from the Three Lions! First Bellingham who comes back without the surface before giving to Foden who cannot finish. Then the header from Kane who is found in the surface, but it is not framed.
18:21
The Rice/Kucka clash! (0-0, 20′)
Kucka remains on the ground seconds after colliding with Rice. He takes his place again.
18:17
Big mistake by Bellingham! (0-0, 17′)
Bellingham intervenes from behind and is logically given a yellow card.
18:17
The English calm the pace (0-0, 16′)

18:12
First good English sequence! (0-0, 11′)
Great sequence of possession by the English on the edge of the Slovakian penalty area. But imprecision in the final move.
18:10
It’s above for Trippier! (0-0, 9′)
The English full-back is alone on the left side of the Slovak penalty area but his shot goes well above Dubravka’s goal.
18:08
Yellow card for Saka! (0-0, 7′)
After a dangerous sequence by Saka in the Slovakian area, the Englishman Mainoo is the author of a big sole on an opposing defender. Logical yellow card.
18:06
Huge Slovak occasion! (0-0, 6′)
Hancko finds himself in possession of the ball on the left of the area and tries a low cross that crosses the area without finding a teammate! It was very close!
18:04
Yellow card for Guéhi! (0-0, 4′)
Big foul by the English defender, who obstructs Strelec. He will be suspended if he qualifies. The free kick is well struck on Strelec’s head, which goes wide.
18:02
Big pressure from the Slovaks! (0-0, 1′)
The Slovaks start the match with a lot of pressure which destabilizes the English.
18:00
