Slovakia also progressed as one of the best third-placed teams.

Romania and Slovakia came into their final game of the group knowing that a draw would take them both through to the last 16.

There were 11 shots in the opening 25 minutes and Slovakia scored in the 11th minute with a powerful header from Ondrej Duda. By half-time Romania leveled with a strong  penalty from Razvan Marin.

The two sides continued to slog it out  into the second half, in a game with the    added drama of lightning and heavy rain.
