Comments:

Group C winners England had already qualified for the Round of 16 with this group game still to play due to Spain’s win against Albania on the previous evening. . They had now remained unbeaten in the group stage for the fourth consecutive UEFA European Championship tournament. . The Three Lions now remained unbeaten in their final group game at UEFA European Championship tournaments since Euro 2000 when they lost against Romania in Charleroi, France (3-2).

Comments:

At their fourth major tournament, Slovenia reached the knockout stages for the first time by finishing as one of the best third placed teams. Despite identical records, they finished below runners-up Denmark due to being shown one more yellow cards during the group games - significantly to assistant coach Milivoje Novaković. . They had now equalled their national record of remaining unbeaten in nine consecutive games (won four); previously between September 2020 and March 2021. . Slovenia failed to score for the first time in their last 15 games.
