Both Groups E and F reached their conclusion on Wednesday without a group as close as Group E, not just in this edition of the European Championship, but ever.
For the first time in European Championship history, all four teams – Romania, Belgium, Slovakia and Ukraine – started the day with three points after two games. By Wednesday evening, Romania had finished top, Belgium second, Slovakia qualified as one of the top third places and Ukraine were eliminated on goal difference.
Things became clearer in Group F, where Portugal were already guaranteed to finish top of the group. However, Georgia’s shock win over Cristiano Ronaldo’s side secured a surprise third place in the group – and qualification for the knockouts – at the expense of the Czech Republic. Turkey defeated the Czech Republic to finish second in the group.
