Belgium had now lost eight of their nine games at Euro tournaments when they had been behind at half-time (won one). .

Romelu Lakaku scored in the 86th minute but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to a handball decision. . Belgium named 13 of a possible 15 substitutes.

This was the third time that Slovakia had qualified for a UEFA European Championship tournament. They reached the Round of 16 in France. . Ivan Schranz had now scored their quickest goal in a game at a major tournament; previously 25 minutes by Robert Vittek against Italy at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa (won 3-2). . As Belgium were placed in third position in the current FIFA World Ranking, compared to Slovakia in 48th, this could be regarded as the biggest upset at a UEFA European Championship since the ranking was introduced in 1992.
