Slovakia players celebrate after scoring a goal during a Group E match against Belgium at Euro 2024, in Frankfurt, Germany, on June 17.Ivan Schranz scored Slovakia ’s quickest goal at a major tournament to take his side to a gritty upset 1-0 victory over wasteful Belgium in European Championship Group E on Monday.
Slovakia joined Romania at the top of the standings after their 3-0 win over Ukraine in Munich earlier on Monday. Belgium next meet Romania in Cologne on Saturday. Belgium were without their preferred central defensive pairing of Jan Vertonghen and Arthur Theate and with left winger Jeremy Doku playing on the right in the first half and Yannick Carrasco as a left wing back, there was a lack of balance to the team.
That was the first of three big chances in the half for Lukaku, who had scored 17 goals in 11 games under Tedesco.
