England must address their issues after Denmark draw, says Gareth Southgate

Austria and Poland face off at Euro 2024 looking to boost their Group D hopes after opening-round defeats.

Ralf Rangnick’s side pushed France close in Dusseldorf, suffering a 1-0 defeat in a scrappy contest after Kylian Mbappe’s broken nose.

While Poland were undone late by Wout Weghorst and the Netherlands, despite grabbing the lead through Adam Buksa. Robert Lewandowski could return for Poland, with coach Michal Probierz maintaining “there is a big difference if you have best player in the world on the bench or you have him on the pitch.”

Austria captain Marcel Sabitzer is embracing the pressure from what he has defined as a must-win game: “If we follow our principles and are intense, and if we bring all that on the pitch, then we have a good chance of winning tomorrow.”

90+4 minutes: Ukraine are just desperate to clear their lines now, Sydorchuk is played forwards and he just tries to hold onto it for as long as possible.

1718981447

Slovakia 1-2 Ukraine

90+2 minutes: Vavro had a chance to take on a shot but absolutely scuffs it!

Was that Slovakia’s last chance of the match? The ball falls to him just inside the box and he misses the chance.

Slovakia 1-2 Ukraine

90 minutes: Slovakia have a corner, it’s only their third of the game. There’s a flick at the back post and it goes out for a goal kick.

1718981175

Slovakia 1-2 Ukraine

87 minutes: Slovakia have another free kick, this time Trubin does have to get involved to palm the ball away.

Ukraine will want to prevent giving Slovakia any more chances, especially with giving away unnecessary fouls as they look to hold on to their slender one-goal advantage.

1718980990

Slovakia 1-2 Ukraine

84 minutes: Ukraine have given away a free kick in a potentially dangerous position just outside the area.

Kucka takes, but it’s hit well over the bar, he has completely miss-hit that, it goes into the top tier of the stand.

1718980870

Slovakia 1-2 Ukraine

82 minutes: The more replays you watch of that goal, the better it looks! To take a ball over the shoulder is difficult, let alone to take the pace off it and slot it into the back of the net.

Yaremchuk has done exactly what was hoped of him when he came on in the 67th minute for Dovbyk.

GOAL! Yaremchuk puts his side ahead – Slovakia 1-2 Ukraine

79 minutes: GOAL! Yaremchuk has timed his run perfectly, and takes a touch to kill the pace on it and then just touches the ball past the goalkeeper where the defender cannot keep it out of the net.

That was a clever move and Ukraine have given themselves a good chance of qualification if they can hold on to this!

1718980627

Slovakia 1-1 Ukraine

78 minutes: Slovakia’s passing has just sharpened up a touch, but they cannot get through the Ukraine lines and concede yet another foul.

1718980433

Slovakia 1-1 Ukraine

75 minutes: Mudryk is now down and receiving some treatment in the aftermath of that, but he looks okay to continue and is waiting on the sidelines to come back on.
