    Great vision from Kevin De Bruyne, nearly caught the goalkeeper out with the free kick. Not many people would have seen the chance to do that let alone execute it as well as De Bruyne did, great effort.

    Replays have just shown that a laser pointer was shining in Kevin De Bruyne's face as he hit that last free-kick. He's not happy and has had a word with referee Anthony Taylor.

    Almost! Kevin De Bruyne lines up a wide free-kick and almost catches Ukraine keeper Anatoliy Trubin snoozing, chipping a shot towards the near post that just hits the side-netting.

    Think Fabio Aurelio's free-kick for Liverpool against Chelsea in the Champions League.

    Slovakia 1-0 Romania

    Oooh, Iania Hagi is fouled right on the edge of the area.

    Free kick to Romania, but VAR are looking whether this should be a penalty...

    Slovakia 1-0 Romania

    Romania are pushing for an equaliser before half-time.

    Andrei Ratiu has another effort - the right back has been busy today - but again the save for Martin Dubravka is straight-forward.

    This has been a really good game, played at a really good pace. There is no sense of 'shall we just get a point each'. Both managers have set up to win this game.

  7. Slovakia topping Group Epublished at 17:31 British Summer Time 26 June

    Slovakia 1-0 Romania

    As things stand, Slovakia will win Group E.

    Ukraine would finish third, meaning they join the Netherlands as a potential last 16 opponent for England - although the exact fixture will only be decided after Group F's games later.

    Romania would be knocked out.

  8. CLOSE!published at 17:31 British Summer Time 26 June

    Slovakia 1-0 Romania

    Ivan Schranz misses a golden chance for a third goal in as many games at these Euros!

    A cross from the left is not intercepted, but the Slovakia winger was not expecting it, and the ball bounced past him and away before he could react inside the Romania area.

    PaulC: Belgium are like England. Both will be dumped out as soon as they meet an actual top team like France, Spain, Germany or Portugal.

    Slovakia 1-0 Romania

    There were fears this game could have been a dire 0-0, given a draw would send both teams through.

    That has not come to pass - both sides have looked to score and played with good intensity and tempo. And now we have a goal to show for it.

    There may be more to come.

    Ukraine will be delighted if they get word of that Slovakia opener. They may just begin to think about holding what they have and being more protective of a draw.

    Belgium are warming up now. Kevin De Bruyne chips in a cross which is only just headed away.

    On the break Ukraine have a proper chance as Artem Dovbyk holds on to the ball well and tees one up for Georgiy Sudakov.

    The Ukrainian midfielder is leaning so far back as he shoots though he almost touches the floor. He skies his shot into the stands.

    Slovakia 1-0 Romania

    Who would have thought Romania would be heading home early when they walloped Ukraine in their opening match?

    That is the circumstance we are currently heading towards. But we have a long way to go in both games.

  14. 'Thoroughly deserved'published at 17:27 British Summer Time 26 June

    It is a great goal. Once the ball comes in from Juraj Kucka the header from Ondrej Duda is brilliant, just nods the ball back where it came from. The keeper had no chance of getting there. Thoroughly deserved for Slovakia.

    Immediately after the goal, a drinks break is called due to high temperatures in Frankfurt.

    An opportunity for a reset and debrief for Romania.

    Belgium are responding well; nobody can handle Jeremy Doku's pace at the moment.

    The Manchester City winger beats his man and slips the ball back to Youri Tielemans, but the midfielder's cross is easily cleared.

    Dion Dublin

    Simple football. Really simple football. The layback and the cross is just so simple, it really is.

    Duda in the box he is smaller than all the Romanian defenders but that is a really strong, precise header.

    GOAL - Slovakia 1-0 Romaniapublished at 17:25 British Summer Time 26 June

    Ondrej Duda (25 mins)

    There's the quality!

    A deep cross from veteran right back Peter Pekarik is one of the best from all 130 of his Slovakia appearances. It is perfectly onto the head of midfielder Ondrej Duda, who heads back across goal and into the far corner.

    Slovakia are currently top of Group E, Romania are eliminated as we stand.

    Slovakia 0-0 Romania

    Nicolae Stanciu now fires from 25 yards, straight into Martin Dubravka's midriff.

    This game isn't lacking for effort from either side, but is just missing a bit of quality so far.
