Kylian Mbappe leaves France game covered in blood as fans shower forward with whistles

Belgium got their Euro 2024 campaign back on track after an impressive 2-0 win against Romania, with goals from Youri Tielemans and Kevin De Bruyne enough to take the points and leave Group E wide open.

Romelu Lukaku was the architect of the first Belgian goal and teed Tielemans up perfectly to fire home a superb effort from just inside the area in the second minute.

De Bruyne had chances throughout a polished Belgian performance and doubled the lead with 10 minutes left when he latched on to a long ball from goalkeeper Koen Casteels and found the net from seven metres out.

The result leaves all four teams in Group E on three points going into the Wednesday’s final matches, when Belgium take on Ukraine and Romania face Slovakia.

FULL-TIME! Georgia 1-1 Czech Republic

FULL-TIME!

That counter is the last action of the game as the referee blows the final whistle!

Another great game, but a point that doesn’t help either side really.

The Czechs will be disappointed to not win it after their dominance, but the Georgians will be disappointed after that final chance!

CLOSE! Oh no! So close for Georgia!

Holes hits a speculative shot from distance and it’s blocked before even reaching the box. Georgia launch the counter attack and it’s three-v-one as the ball is rolled to Lobjanidze in the box. He opts to hit it first-time across the ‘keeper, but he blasts it over!

Jurasek can’t any power into his shot and Mamardashvili collects. The Czechs wins a free-kick in the centre circle and they will have another opportunity to pump it into the box.

The Czechs are having all the ball but they can’t create anything clear-cut at the moment. Whatever opportunities do come, it feels like they’ll be the resort of a hopeful ball in or a lucky deflection.

Georgia can’t get out of their own half at the moment.

There’ll be five minutes of added time in Hamburg at the end of what’s been a fascinating contest.

The Czech Republic attack again, but Jurasek loses out to Gvelesiani and concedes a goal kick.

Total domination from the Czechs as we approach 90 minutes. Georgia look absolutely knackered out there, though they’re defending valiantly as they clear two Czech crosses before the referee dismisses a penalty appeal when the Czechs think Chytil is fouled.

Mikautadze comes off for Giorgi Kvilitaia, before the Czechs win a free-kick when defending Georgia’s corner.

Two bookings in as many minutes for Georgia as Mekvabishvili and Gvelesiani go in the book.
