Slovakia Upsets Belgium 1-0 in Euro 2024 Group E Opener

Slovakia delivered one of the biggest upsets in Euro 2024 by defeating Belgium 1-0 in their Group E opener. Ivan Schranz scored the decisive goal in the seventh minute, and Slovakia's defensive resilience and VAR decisions helped them maintain their lead. Romelu Lukaku had two goals disallowed, one for offside and another due to a handball by Loïs Openda, and missed several opportunities. Belgium, ranked third in the world, now faces an uphill battle in the group after this shocking loss. Slovakia, on the other hand, is poised to advance to the knockout stages for the first time since Euro 2016. Ukraine, who lost 3-0 to Romania, could face elimination if they lose again to Slovakia.
