Germany’s dominance in Group A of Euro 2024 continued on Wednesday as they secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Hungary, thanks to goals from Jamal Musiala and Ilkay Gundogan. This win guarantees the host nation a spot in the knockout stages, making them the first team to achieve this milestone in the tournament.
The match between Scotland and Switzerland ended in a 1-1 draw, keeping the group’s standings in flux. Spain, however, remains the leader after winning both of their opening matches, showcasing their strength with impressive victories against Croatia and Italy. Despite a 2-1 win against Albania, Italy’s loss to Spain puts them in a precarious position.
In Group B, Albania snatched a late equalizer against Croatia, resulting in a 2-2 draw. England, despite a disappointing 1-1 draw against Denmark, remains at the top of the group. However, the tight standings leave the door open for any of the four teams to secure a place in the Round of 16.
Group D saw Netherlands maintain their lead after a goalless draw against France. France, despite having the same points and goal difference as the Netherlands, sits second due to scoring fewer goals. Ukraine, on the other hand, secured their first win of the tournament with a 2-1 victory over Slovakia, climbing to second place. Belgium remains at the bottom of the group, having played one less match.
Portugal’s dominance in Group F was undeniable as they claimed a 3-0 victory against Turkey, securing their qualification to the Euro 2024 round of 16 as group winners. In a surprising turn of events, Georgia, a newcomer to the European Championship, held the Czech Republic to a 1-1 draw, showcasing their resilience and proving to be a formidable opponent.
