Ukraine and Belgium played to a stalemate with the scoreline of 0-0 and all four teams in Group E finished level on four points. Ukraine, despite a great fight, finished in the last place on the account of goals scored, while Belgium finished as second. Romania qualified as group winners after a 1-1 draw with Slovakia, with the latter going through as one of the best third-placed teams. This poor result puts Belgium in a difficult position with a round of 16 against France.
The match between Belgium and Ukraine at the Stuttgart stadium was uneventful with few lucid opportunities which was the general theme of the group stage. Ukraine, which deserved more, left the tournament after taking the last position in Group E. Despite a great chance for Georgiy Sudakov in the added time, the shot ended up straight in the Belgian goalkeeper's hands, Koen Casteels. Casteels also had to produce a fine save from a Ruslan Malinovskyi corner that was taken in the 82nd minute.
In the group, Romania was the winner of the Group, with Belgium coming second and Slovakia qualifying as one of the best third-placed team. Four points were scored by Ukraine but that was not enough to proceed further and this was thr first time that a team that got 4 points didn't qualify for the next round.
TALKING POINT: Belgium Qualifies Despite Average Performances
Like France, Belgium brought out rather a lackluster performance and did not manage to impress the audience. The teams will confront each other in Düsseldorf, and both are insecure about crucial vulnerabilities. Romelu Lukaku benefited from several masterclasses from Kevin De Bruyne; however, Belgium must improve to advance further in Euro 2024.
Star of the Match: GEORGIY SUDAKOV (UKRAINE)
Sudakov, the lively Shakhtar midfielder, brightened up Ukraine’s midfield and gave the Belgians a hard time throughout the match. His last-gasp shot and the drive to get there prove that he is a quality player.
