Ukraine stages stunning comeback, Slovakia overtaken; France and Netherlands draw in lackluster match

Ukraine's comeback over Slovakia and Austria's win against Poland at Euro 2024 leave groups E and D intriguingly poised.

In a thrilling second-half turnaround, Ukraine secured their first three points of Euro 2024 with a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Slovakia. Mykhola Shaparenko and substitute Roman Yaremchuk were the heroes as they orchestrated a remarkable fightback, leaving Group E finely poised with three teams on three points each.

Austria Prevails Over Poland

Austria, under the guidance of former Manchester United coach Ralf Rangnick, secured a solid 3-1 victory over Poland. Gernot Trauner opened the scoring for Austria, and despite an equalizer from Krzysztof Piatek, Christoph Baumgartner and Marko Arnautovic ensured Austria's first win of the tournament.

Netherlands and France Settle for a Stalemate

The clash between the Netherlands and France ended in a lackluster 0-0 draw, with refereeing controversy overshadowing the match. Xavi Simons' disallowed goal due to VAR intervention was a major talking point as both teams failed to break the deadlock.
