Slovakia on Monday night shocked Belgium 1-0 at the ongoing Euro 2024 championship.
Slovakia got an early goal and defended furiously to hold on for a 1-0 victory over Belgium in Group E.
Ivan Schranz took advantage of a horror defensive error to put Slovakia ahead in the seventh minute and kept Belgium at bay with increasing desperation to secure an unexpected triumph at the Frankfurt Arena.
Belgium’s top scorer Romelu Lukaku twice had the ball in the net but was denied after VAR checks, first for offside in the 56th minute and min from the end when Lois Openda was adjudged to have handled in the build-up before the striker swept the ball into the net.
The result meant Slovakia are currently occupying the second position in Group E behind Romania while Belgium are on third position on the log.
Ukraine who got thrashed 3-0 by Romania are occupying the last on the group after the first round of group E matches.
