On the fourth day of the European Championship, the national teams of Belgium and Slovakia met.

Slovakia won with a score of 1:0.

The Belgians started the match more actively, and Romelu Lukaku could have put his team in front at the beginning of the match.

However, the first goal was scored by Slovakia. In the 7th minute, Ivan Schranzas scored a goal after the ball was deflected by goalkeeper Koen Casteels.

The "Red Devils" had several moments to equalize, but Leandro Trossard and striker Romelu Lukaku failed to capitalize on them.

In the second half, Belgians continued to play actively, pressed the opponents, and created dangerous moments near the Slovakian goal.

In the 56th minute, Romelu Lukaku managed to score a goal and equalize, but it was disallowed due to an offside.

In the 86th minute, R. Lukaku's goal was once again revoked after a VAR review. This time it was because the pass provided by Loic Openda was played with handball.

Romelu Lukaku, a player of the "Red Devils," became the first player in the history of the European Championship to have two goals disallowed after a VAR review.

In the other matches of this group, Romania defeated Ukraine with a score of 3:0.
