UEFA Euro 2024 Group E
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Group E of UEFA Euro 2024 took place from 17 to 26 June 2024.[1] The group contained Belgium, Slovakia, Romania, and Ukraine. All four teams finished with four points, making it the first (and the only as of at least 2028) European Championship, and the first major tournament since Group E of the 1994 FIFA World Cup, where all teams in a group had the same amount of points. Ukraine became the first team to finish bottom of a European Championship group while earning as many as four points.[2][3]

Belgium vs Slovakia
Based on the FIFA Men's World Ranking, Slovakia's win was the biggest upset in UEFA European Championship history, with 45 places separating Belgium (3rd) and Slovakia (48th).[9] This was short lived, however, since Georgia (74th) beat Portugal (6th) 2-0 on June 26 in Group F. 68 places separated Georgia and Portugal, beating the Belgium-Slovakia record by 23 places.

Discipline
Fair play points would have been used as a tiebreaker if the head-to-head and overall records of teams had been tied (and if a penalty shoot-out was not applicable as a tiebreaker). These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received by players and team officials in all group matches as follows:[5]
- yellow card = 1 point
- red card as a result of two yellow cards = 3 points
- direct red card = 3 points
- yellow card followed by direct red card = 4 points
Only one of the above deductions was applied to a player or team official in a single match.
