00:00:00Without VAR, he's had three chalked off already.
00:00:05Martin Keown is alongside me.
00:00:07Martin, first, many congratulations for getting here.
00:00:10A torturous journey for you from Cologne, I know.
00:00:12But we won't worry people about that.
00:00:14It's a good game.
00:00:15It's all part of the job, Steve.
00:00:17Trying to have seven and a half hours, who cares, you know.
00:00:19I'm really looking forward to this game now, after that journey.
00:00:22I thought Belgium were much better in their second match.
00:00:25And I expect that kind of a performance.
00:00:27Interesting to see if Doku, just seeing now he's going out into that left-hand side.
00:00:32He is a real handful, and he's from the left.
00:00:34So I think the manager's making the right call here.
00:00:39Belgium are in the change strip.
00:00:42Which is an unusual combination of light blue, brown and white.
00:00:47Which is a little homage to Tintin.
00:00:54I kid you not.
00:00:56Ukraine all in yellow.
00:01:07So off we go.
00:01:08The conclusion of Group E.
00:01:10The tightest of all the groups at Euro 2024.
00:01:14Belgium kick off from left to right.
00:01:18Against Ukraine.
00:01:21In their all yellow.
00:01:24Everybody has won one.
00:01:26And everybody has lost one.
00:01:27And here is Roman Urenchuk.
00:01:29And he wins the first corner kick of the game for Ukraine.
00:01:32By flicking it off Kostanya.
00:01:37I think he deserves his place as well.
00:01:39There'll be two up top.
00:01:40Urenchuk.
00:01:45And the corner's going to be taken by Sudakov.
00:01:49Who gets it back.
00:01:51And Sudakov's ball in is a dangerous one actually.
00:01:54It was well defended.
00:01:56And that's going to be a goal kick to Belgium.
00:02:00We were wondering, weren't we Martin,
00:02:02whether Doku would be left and Trossard right.
00:02:04Or Trossard right and Doku left.
00:02:06You were very anti the idea of Doku being on the right hand side.
00:02:10And indeed he is over on the left at the moment.
00:02:12Yeah, he's kind of got that little shimmy that he does.
00:02:15And I think it works better from that left hand side.
00:02:18Pretty clear pattern of play here.
00:02:20You can't quite see it.
00:02:21But De Bruyne up, playing off the front.
00:02:23I think he's obviously keen.
00:02:24Getting that ball into him so he can pull the strings.
00:02:32Here is Joeri Tielemans finding Onana.
00:02:36Trossard.
00:02:39The other wide option of course in the Belgium squad
00:02:41is Johan Bakayoko.
00:02:42He's had a very, very good season indeed with PSG Eindhoven.
00:02:45We've barely seen him yet this summer.
00:02:49Artur Teat is the left back.
00:02:54And his pass is misdirected through to goalkeeper Anatoly Trubin.
00:02:59Good movement off the ball.
00:03:00We see a lot of him on the ball.
00:03:02But opposite movement there.
00:03:04Wanted that ball in behind.
00:03:05Didn't come off.
00:03:10Anthony Taylor has spotted something
00:03:14or been alerted to something.
00:03:18By Castiles.
00:03:32Not entirely sure what that was.
00:03:34But he'll be back in a way in a minute.
00:03:39Looked like he just wanted a drink.
00:03:42Hazard.
00:03:43Yeah, it's slightly odd.
00:03:44But I'm sure Anthony Taylor had good reason for it.
00:03:46It's Trubin with the clearance away downfield.
00:03:49Wasn't the best.
00:03:50Tillemans got his head on it.
00:03:54I thought Tillemans actually was a really good addition as well
00:03:57in that second game.
00:03:58Scoring that early goal for them of course.
00:04:01Took it beautifully actually.
00:04:03Count fast to his near right-hand side.
00:04:06He has a nice habit of doing that Tillemans from distance.
00:04:14Onana.
00:04:17Castagne was caught in possession by Mikulenko's determination.
00:04:22Good play by the Everton man.
00:04:23This is Sudakov.
00:04:26Finding Vitaly Mikulenko.
00:04:28No one had made a near post run and it's easy for Castiles.
00:04:32But they're getting about their business early Ukraine.
00:04:36Yeah, Mikulenko.
00:04:37We've not seen much of him.
00:04:38But there was a lot of venom in that challenge.
00:04:40Look at that for a piece of skill.
00:04:41Yeah.
00:04:42Brilliant.
00:04:43Doku was just caught after that little nutmeg.
00:04:48His truss out.
00:04:56To Drona.
00:05:01Belgian throw.
00:05:04Alexander Timchik keeping an eye on Doku.
00:05:09Doku is now behind Timchik.
00:05:14Artur Teat's ball into the penalty area.
00:05:17Cleared away by Zabani.
00:05:32Jan Vertonghen out to Teat.
00:05:35This is a record-breaking day for Jan Vertonghen.
00:05:44Actually his 24th Belgian appearance in major tournaments.
00:05:47Making him a record holder.
00:05:49Beating Jan Culemans.
00:05:53You may remember from the 70s and 80s.
00:05:56Terrific player with Club Bruges.
00:06:00It's interesting with the set-up here, Belgium.
00:06:05It's almost like a three at the back.
00:06:07Kastanje goes really high.
00:06:09And didn't find Lukaku.
00:06:11No Tillemans there.
00:06:13It's just better ball into Lukaku.
00:06:15Got to keep feeding the big man.
00:06:22And Redhof certainly knew a thing or two about putting the ball in the back of the net.
00:06:30I'm sure he scored against Austerli.
00:06:32Champions League. Dynamo Kiev all those years ago.
00:06:35Dynamo Kiev, yeah. I think I went to that game.
00:06:37In the old Kiev stadium.
00:06:40Shevchenko, his partner.
00:06:47It's a free kick to Ukraine.
00:06:51Savani, confident.
00:07:04They look very assured, Belgium.
00:07:06In possession.
00:07:10Trossard being hustled and harried.
00:07:14Trossard being hustled and harried.
00:07:18Dealt with it nicely in this round.
00:07:20Teat.
00:07:23Tillemans.
00:07:26De Bruyne.
00:07:29De Bruyne.
00:07:30Accelerating dangerously.
00:07:32Nice angle ball. Lukaku's got there.
00:07:35And got something on it.
00:07:37But not quite enough to really trouble Trubin.
00:07:40It's interesting.
00:07:41You see the movement, Lukaku.
00:07:43As soon as he sees De Bruyne there, he wants it.
00:07:46Does well actually to get there, then scuffs the shot.
00:07:51Just needs to steady himself down a little bit.
00:07:53Almost going too quickly there.
00:07:56It's the thumb up for De Bruyne, who can see him.
00:07:59Was badly affected, Lukaku, by a hamstring injury at the last World Cup.
00:08:04Played just a bit part in it, really.
00:08:07But he has 85 international goals for Belgium.
00:08:11Well, that's some record, isn't it?
00:08:13There's no dispute in that.
00:08:17Does get plenty of opportunities, though.
00:08:19Yeah, Belgium are not...
00:08:22No strangers to a big win.
00:08:25Particularly in qualifying.
00:08:28They haven't yet turned talent into trophies.
00:08:32Under Roberto Martinez previously.
00:08:35Domenico Tedesco in charge now.
00:08:59Kostelnik.
00:09:01Tiedemans.
00:09:03Tross up.
00:09:15Teo back into Votonga.
00:09:18Doku.
00:09:19Is that a foul on Doku?
00:09:21Anthony Taylor doesn't think so.
00:09:23But De Bruyne has won it well from Tim Chick.
00:09:25De Bruyne has started this game very well indeed.
00:09:29Showing another side to his game.
00:09:34Kostelnik's forward ball.
00:09:35Leandro Tross out here for Belgium.
00:09:38For that play by Mikkole Matvienko.
00:09:48Lovely to watch that.
00:09:50Kostelnik.
00:10:21Votonga.
00:10:23Back in Belgium.
00:10:24Football now with Anderlecht having left Benfica.
00:10:26Doku is caught.
00:10:32Yeah, they get really tight all round the pitch.
00:10:35This fellow is almost impossible to stop at times.
00:10:39Well, actually.
00:10:41Moved as though he was going to make the touch.
00:10:44But he didn't.
00:10:46And he didn't.
00:10:48Moved as though he was going to make the challenge to Barney.
00:10:50And then kind of pulled out of it.
00:10:53Anthony Taylor right on the spot there.
00:11:00Very patient Belgium right now.
00:11:06Tim Chick.
00:11:15Trubin.
00:11:18Trubin.
00:11:21Belgium get the throw in.
00:11:23Taken quickly.
00:11:27Joeri Tielemans.
00:11:28Ball in.
00:11:29Tross out was hoping it would come his way.
00:11:32Powerful header from Jan Votonga.
00:11:35Tim Chick with the header away.
00:11:42Matvienko.
00:11:44Vitali Mikkolenko.
00:11:48Almost playing as a left midfielder, Mikkolenko.
00:11:52He's getting as high as he can, isn't he?
00:11:54Whenever they get the ball.
00:11:55I think there's lots of possession from Belgium.
00:11:57But Ukraine have to push forward whenever they can.
00:12:00In numbers.
00:12:02Doku.
00:12:03Dancing inside Tim Chick.
00:12:04Couldn't get it through to Dubrojna.
00:12:06Should be dealt with.
00:12:09Mikhail Sudakov has given possession away.
00:12:11And here's Doku.
00:12:13Tim Chick very happy to come away with a ball.
00:12:27Dovbik's flick on.
00:12:28Nowhere near Yuremchuk.
00:12:29Both play in Spain.
00:12:30Dovbik with Girona.
00:12:31And Yuremchuk last season anyway.
00:12:33On loan at Valencia.
00:12:36And here's Dubrojna.
00:12:39Dubrojna.
00:12:40And here's Yuremchuk last season anyway.
00:12:41On loan at Valencia.
00:12:52Tinemans.
00:13:01Kostanja.
00:13:02Trosser.
00:13:05Unana.
00:13:06Nice ball.
00:13:07Dubrojna will reach this.
00:13:08No, he won't.
00:13:09Yeah, just a bit too much on that.
00:13:11Just way to pass.
00:13:13Unana.
00:13:16Interesting.
00:13:17Atrozad.
00:13:18He just tucks inside.
00:13:19And the width is coming.
00:13:21From Kostanja.
00:13:22This time Dubrojna trying to get in behind the fullback.
00:13:31Belgium one defeat in 17.
00:13:35Whilst.
00:13:37Ukraine.
00:13:38Are three defeats.
00:13:40In 14.
00:13:43Dubrojna.
00:13:44Oh, it hit Dubrojna as the attempted clearance was made.
00:13:49It's a corner kick to Belgium.
00:13:52Brasco.
00:13:53Played it straight into Kevin Dubrojna.
00:13:58It's a very important interception here.
00:14:00Look, just gets his foot on it, the defender.
00:14:03Otherwise Lukaku was in on goal.
00:14:09So it is Dubrojna to take.
00:14:15Again, another chance.
00:14:16That's off the head.
00:14:18Of Ilya Zabani.
00:14:32Zabani and Juremchuk marking Lukaku.
00:14:35Zabani and Juremchuk marking Lukaku.
00:14:37As Dubrojna goes a little deeper this time.
00:14:39Players falling like dominoes.
00:14:41At the back post.
00:14:52Just normal contact.
00:14:55Nothing adverse there.
00:14:58Don't like it when they don't look at the ball though.
00:15:00These defenders.
00:15:01Maybe something for later.
00:15:04Lukaku.
00:15:11Shaporenko.
00:15:14Sudarkov.
00:15:21Chimchik, Juremchuk.
00:15:22Foul pass with him.
00:15:24Chimchik.
00:15:26Sudarkov wants it and gets it.
00:15:30Wasn't really intended for Shaporenko.
00:15:32But he's taken it.
00:15:33Vitaly Mikulenko.
00:15:41Sudarkov in that midfield is making things happen.
00:15:45Quite a bit of confidence.
00:15:46That win they got in the last game would have given them this confidence.
00:15:49Ukraine.
00:15:54And Mikulenko wins the throw-in.
00:16:04Zabani.
00:16:06Sudarkov.
00:16:07Semi-finalists last year in the
00:16:10European Under-21 Championships
00:16:13with Ukraine.
00:16:14Number 14.
00:16:15He's made the step up and
00:16:17looks very comfortable at this level.
00:16:21Brashko.
00:16:24Not what he intended.
00:16:34But he's made the step up and
00:16:36looks very comfortable at this level.
00:16:39Doku.
00:16:50Still going.
00:16:52Trosa.
00:16:54There's a lot of room far left for
00:16:56Teat.
00:16:57That's where Trosa is looking.
00:16:59Here he is, the left-back.
00:17:00Tieleman.
00:17:01Still going.
00:17:02Trosa.
00:17:03There's a lot of room far left for Teat.
00:17:05That's where Trosa is looking.
00:17:07Tieleman.
00:17:13Doku deciding to settle for the throw-in.
00:17:21Switching the ball nicely though.
00:17:23Belgium just showing their repertoire.
00:17:27Kastanienfurt.
00:17:28Bout Fas.
00:17:31Quite like Teat, a left-back actually.
00:17:34A bit like Kukerea
00:17:35in his appearance.
00:17:38Kastanienfurt has given the ball away.
00:17:40This is Schaporenko.
00:17:43That is Teat getting across for
00:17:45Belgium, but
00:17:47Dovdik got there first.
00:17:54You look at this Belgian defence
00:17:56and you think, OK, a lot of experience in there,
00:17:58but how good are they?
00:17:59The Tongan have played a whole lot of games,
00:18:01getting on in years.
00:18:03Futs alongside him, played in the championship
00:18:05last season.
00:18:06You've got to feel that that's a little bit of a weakness.
00:18:09The Tongan, it's 37 now.
00:18:29Good play there by Bout Fas.
00:18:32Jurek Csuk.
00:18:33Saw that goal he scored the other day.
00:18:35He'll be looking for an opportunity.
00:18:49Onana.
00:18:54Lukaku.
00:18:59Teat.
00:19:01Ah.
00:19:04Doku made a little dart forward
00:19:06and then a step back and
00:19:08Teat played it into the
00:19:11run which was a decoy
00:19:13rather than the run which Doku actually made.
00:19:15Communication's wrong there, isn't it?
00:19:17Dennis Burkamp used to do that for me.
00:19:19First run's not for me, Martin.
00:19:21The second one is.
00:19:22So if I run in behind, I want it to feet.
00:19:26Work on the training ground, I'm afraid, that one.
00:19:28Here's Lukaku.
00:19:30And De Bruyne.
00:19:31Almost into Teat.
00:19:34Almost De Bruyne.
00:19:36Doku.
00:19:42Ukraine are hanging in there pretty well
00:19:44as De Bruyne
00:19:47tried to squeeze it through to Lukaku.
00:19:49It was deflected and Zabani is there.
00:19:51I think it's the awkwardness.
00:19:52Steve, just to come in on you there.
00:19:54I think it's this awkwardness of this system
00:19:56that we're seeing.
00:19:57The teams that play with a 3 or a 5
00:19:59at the back, with 3 in midfield, 2 up top.
00:20:01It's very difficult to break down.
00:20:03We've seen it with Switzerland.
00:20:05We've seen it with Denmark against the England team.
00:20:11He's still big.
00:20:14It's a bit lucky to go big that
00:20:16that found Brasco.
00:20:17It wasn't intended for him.
00:20:19Here is Brasco now.
00:20:26Zabani's had a really good tournament
00:20:28with the former central defender.
00:20:29He's only 21.
00:20:30It's incredible, isn't it?
00:20:3121 years of age.
00:20:32He is looking like a really good boy.
00:20:34Yeah, he is.
00:20:37Here he is.
00:20:43Brasco.
00:20:49Matijenko.
00:20:51Dropping in is Shaterinka.
00:20:53Matijenko.
00:21:03That was very easy, wasn't it?
00:21:05The amount of space he's got there to hit that.
00:21:10He's gone right through the middle of the team there.
00:21:12Just two passes.
00:21:17Onana.
00:21:24Oh, how fast.
00:21:26Traslator literally just moved from the spot.
00:21:29Juremchuk.
00:21:32Dobik.
00:21:33Well, well wide in the end.
00:21:34A bit wild really from Dobik.
00:21:37He's yet to show in this tournament
00:21:40the finishing ability that he obviously
00:21:42showed last season in Spain.
00:21:44Well, look.
00:21:45Miscommunication again there.
00:21:48They're on to it.
00:21:49I think it's a bit ambitious by the way.
00:21:51Shooting from there.
00:21:52As you say though, he's got an incredible record
00:21:54in Spain this year.
00:21:5624 goals I believe.
00:21:59Best record from an overseas player since Shevchenko.
00:22:03So he can score goals.
00:22:06Scored in his only appearance at the last Euro as well.
00:22:08That was against Sweden.
00:22:10Trubin who took over from Real Madrid's Lugnian
00:22:13in the Ukrainian goal.
00:22:15After Lugnian's two errors really in the 3-0 defeat to Romania.
00:22:20Match day one for Ukraine in Munich.
00:22:39Matvienko.
00:22:55Matvienko.
00:22:59And Zabani.
00:23:05Sudakov's run.
00:23:07Kostanja covered it fairly.
00:23:09Dubrojna.
00:23:10Tienemans.
00:23:13Covered by Timczyk.
00:23:15Teat.
00:23:16Keeping Belgium moving in the right direction.
00:23:19Tienemans.
00:23:32Kostanja.
00:23:37Trostov for Dubrojna.
00:23:39Dubrojna for Kostanja.
00:23:42Kostanja's cross.
00:23:44Very important.
00:23:45That didn't reach Lukaku and Zabani made sure.
00:23:48Teat.
00:23:49Just setting their stall out now Steve.
00:23:53Change of direction from Onana.
00:23:57Onto Teat.
00:24:01Trubin.
00:24:02Seemed admirably relaxed about that.
00:24:06How about this?
00:24:09Yeah.
00:24:10It's a good way off but I like his confidence.
00:24:12Wanting to get involved on that left hand side.
00:24:14Good clearance this was.
00:24:17Yeah very important.
00:24:18Zabani.
00:24:20Just interesting the Belgium manager coming out.
00:24:22Shouting instructions.
00:24:23Wants his team to play in a sort of measured way.
00:24:26I'd be looking for a bit more tempo from this Belgium team.
00:24:30Very slow and deliberate.
00:24:32Misdirected pass from Sudakov.
00:24:34Here's Doku.
00:24:36Onana.
00:24:43Trostov.
00:24:56Onana.
00:25:07Onana for Tielemans.
00:25:11Teat.
00:25:18Doku.
00:25:19Good change of pace.
00:25:20Timchik trying to stick with him.
00:25:22Shaparenko doubling up.
00:25:23Tielemans miss hitting.
00:25:25Sudakov clearance.
00:25:26Teat.
00:25:27Tielemans.
00:25:28Dubrojna.
00:25:32Kostanja.
00:25:37Stolich.
00:25:40A little flipball into Trosov.
00:25:47Well won by Wout Vaes.
00:25:51Getting the better of Roman Juremchuk.
00:26:06De Bruyne. Double deflection. Yes. Goal kick.
00:26:13Yeah, De Bruyne making that little run again in behind the full-back.
00:26:16This time, way of pass was better. Just couldn't get enough on it.
00:26:20Goal in Frankfurt. Andre Duda has scored for Slovakia against Romania.
00:26:28Which means that as it stands, Slovakia top the group.
00:26:36Well, that would be a shock, wouldn't it?
00:26:46I don't think anyone saw Austria winning their group.
00:26:49And certainly no one saw Slovakia winning this one.
00:26:51But this is a way to go.
00:26:55It does mean that as things stand, Ukraine would finish third in the group
00:27:15and have a distinct possibility of qualifying.
00:27:26Doku. De Bruyne. De Bruyne.
00:27:33Oh, a header from Chimchik.
00:27:36Yeah, just couldn't pick anybody out there.
00:27:38But I think they look really lively when it goes to Doku.
00:27:41As we say, shimmying inside, just trying to get the right pass there.
00:27:45Lukaku has to be the target in that situation.
00:27:48Trostad, is he getting alongside?
00:27:50It's interesting how he's central now.
00:27:52He's sort of moving in as a nine quite often.
00:27:54But they're out again through that midfield.
00:27:56That pass covering.
00:27:58Dobik cuts inside.
00:28:00Dobik is going to lay it off.
00:28:03It's taken too long and it's over the top.
00:28:06It's a really poor effort by Sudakov.
00:28:09Dobik took an age to work out what he was going to do with that.
00:28:12He had Yuremchuk desperate for it.
00:28:14He did, but again, it's disturbingly.
00:28:16Look, it's one pass through the midfield.
00:28:18The willing runners into the channel.
00:28:20He's got too much pace here.
00:28:22Surely he's just got to roll that ball to his colleague, Yuremchuk.
00:28:26He comes out and then it's an awful shot in the end.
00:28:30But obviously it's their game plan, isn't it?
00:28:33Sit a bit deep.
00:28:34Can they do something on the break?
00:28:36The quality has to be better than that.
00:28:42So the first twist of the night has seen Slovakia go top of Group E.
00:28:48Meaning Romania would go out.
00:28:53Belgium would be the runners-up.
00:28:55And Ukraine would go through in third place
00:28:58and be a possible opponent for England in the round of 16.
00:29:03England more likely to play the Netherlands, but that could change tonight.
00:29:10Sudakov.
00:29:12Nikolenko's ball in is a really good one.
00:29:15It was a hard header, that, for Yuremchuk.
00:29:17Because it was just behind him, actually.
00:29:21He's lifing up, though.
00:29:22Yeah, they're getting out again in that midfield.
00:29:25Getting bodies forward.
00:29:29Just the quality finish again.
00:29:30He's coming away from the goal there.
00:29:32It's really difficult for him.
00:29:33De Bruyne is interested.
00:29:35He's having a word with his defenders.
00:29:37They're going to press there.
00:29:38And it was just passed out through them.
00:29:40It's not quite right.
00:29:41They're not moving up behind that midfield.
00:29:43Often Tillemans is going forward.
00:29:45Then Unan has been left on his own.
00:29:47And he's outnumbered at times.
00:29:51If Belgium do finish second in this group,
00:29:53which is where they are at the moment,
00:29:54we've got a mighty tasty game on Monday in Dusseldorf.
00:29:58Because they play France in the round of 16.
00:30:01Forward from Matvienko.
00:30:16I think probably the best course of action for the coaches
00:30:18is just to ignore what's going on elsewhere.
00:30:21And concentrate on the task in hand.
00:30:24It's not quite right.
00:30:25They're not moving up behind that midfield.
00:30:27They're not moving up behind that midfield.
00:30:29It's not quite right.
00:30:30They're not moving up behind that midfield.
00:30:32It's not quite right.
00:30:33They're not moving up behind that midfield.

00:33:31It's not quite right.
00:33:32It's not quite right.
00:33:33De Bruyne is the man for those.
00:33:36Kevin De Bruyne trying to catch up.
00:33:44Yeah, just keep the goalkeeper honest there.
00:33:48Nearly caught him out, by the way.
00:33:50Yeah.
00:33:51It's that imagination, isn't it?
00:33:53Look at how he's got to whip that an awful long way around.
00:33:56Not far away.
00:34:04Svatov.
00:34:05Matvienko.
00:34:10Zabani.
00:34:14Shatranko away to Chichiki.
00:34:16Can't keep the ball in play.
00:34:34It's a throw-in to Ukraine taken by Timchik, Brazhko.
00:34:40Matvienko.
00:34:47Zabani.
00:34:58Matvienko.
00:34:59Mikulenko.
00:35:00Sudarkhan.
00:35:04It was inviting.
00:35:07That's a problem for Belgium, that extra player.
00:35:10He's not finding space.
00:35:11Look, he's on his own there.
00:35:12You can see in the build-up.
00:35:13He's coming on to this and his touch really lets him down a little bit.
00:35:16Defender gets back.
00:35:20And also in out in midfield, Belgium.
00:35:24Oh, no, and a slightly heavy touch.
00:35:34Belgium at the moment just a bit less than the sum of their parts.
00:35:38I'd agree.
00:35:40Not moving the ball quick enough for me.
00:35:43You can see the obvious quality on the pitch.
00:35:51He doesn't have a picture, Onana, when it comes into him.
00:35:55Mikulenko to Matvienko.
00:35:58Svatov for Zabani.
00:36:01Svatov for Zabani.
00:36:10What do you mean by that, Martin?
00:36:11He doesn't have a picture.
00:36:12I know what you mean, because you tell me over breakfast and coffee and things like that.
00:36:15But as a defender, what does that mean?
00:36:17He should be scanning.
00:36:18When he gets the ball, he should be scanning for that pass and then have a picture of where he's going to pass it.
00:36:23And he doesn't seem to quite have that at times.
00:36:27This man certainly has a picture.
00:36:29He's got a playbook of pictures that nobody else has got.
00:36:32Trotsav had his shirt pulled by Svatov.
00:36:50Ting from De Bruyne to Teat.
00:37:00Trotsav.
00:37:09Absolutely exceptional.
00:37:11Trotsav's season at Arsenal.
00:37:15It is, but he's been used to it.
00:37:16The way that things are set out.
00:37:18A nice, as we say, a nice picture from the manager.
00:37:22You know, when you go out to play, you've got to make things easy for the players.
00:37:25Solutions.
00:37:27Good pace, Doku.
00:37:28Tim Csik did enough to stick with him.
00:37:32Doku has just sailed the cross out of play.
00:37:35Ukraine are quite happy at the moment.
00:37:39And it's Domenico Tedesco, the young Italian born but German raised coach of Belgium.
00:37:48There's a sense of pressure here for Belgium.
00:37:50So-called golden age is maybe long gone.
00:37:53But you thought maybe they would be freer in their play.
00:37:56But not today.
00:38:04Zabani.
00:38:10Well, there's been an equalizer.
00:38:13Romania have leveled it up in Frankfurt.
00:38:16It is Razvan Marin from the penalty spot for Romania, making it one each there.
00:38:24So we're back to how we started.
00:38:28As in, everybody has four points.
00:38:42That's going to be a goal kick.
00:38:47And it is one of the quirks of a 24 team tournament that Ukraine in this group
00:38:53could have four points and exit because they could finish bottom of it on four points.
00:38:58And yet Hungary in that Scotland group could progress on three.
00:39:07That's a 24 team tournament for you.
00:39:10Play on here.
00:39:11De Bruyne.
00:39:14Trossard was in if that pass had got through.
00:39:16But it didn't.
00:39:17Matvienko did well.
00:39:19But they're not done yet.
00:39:21Trossard, man down for Ukraine.
00:39:25De Bruyne.
00:39:26Onana.
00:39:29Doku.
00:39:32Anthony Taylor's got a decision to make about whether to stop play.
00:39:35Sudarkov is still down.
00:39:37And that little foul on Onana has given Anthony Taylor now the chance to blow his whistle
00:39:44and go and have a look at Sudarkov.
00:39:47I think he's actually stepped on him, hasn't he?
00:39:48Look, he does this little bit of a trick and look, he's all over him.
00:39:52And the referee has missed that in real time.
00:39:54If they'd have gone on to score, that would have been pretty interesting.
00:39:57So he's made the right call in the end.
00:40:00Albeit very late.
00:40:01Yeah, that is a very, very painful one for Ahoy Sudarkov.
00:40:15Need a goal, Belgium.
00:40:19Slovakia came.
00:40:21You could put down as one of those anomalies.
00:40:23They had an awful lot of opportunities and ended up losing the game.
00:40:33But they haven't had a lot of opportunities in this one.
00:40:44Sudarkov is back on his feet.
00:40:47There's a lot of debate going on.
00:40:52Sudarkov, very important to Ukraine, what he does in that midfield.
00:40:55He's just playing above the two that sit in midfield.
00:40:59I think that's been part of the inquest actually, what this drinks break has become, hasn't it, at the moment.
00:41:05This is the ball in behind for Lukaku and then he scuffs it.
00:41:08Maybe gets there just a tad too early.
00:41:11That is their chance so far.
00:41:13It is.
00:41:16We know that he often needs maybe two or three of those before he can put it in the back of the net.
00:41:27Well, the free kick was given for a foul on Onana.
00:41:30Not for Onana's challenge on Sudarkov.
00:41:34And Kevin De Bruyne is going to take it into the last five minutes.
00:41:38Of the first half in Stuttgart.
00:41:40De Bruyne spins it in.
00:41:42Zabani heads it away.
00:41:44Yuri Tielemans.
00:41:47Jeremy Doku.
00:41:58It's almost too perfect, isn't it?
00:41:59Surely a centre forward wants that ball to be recycled and put back in the box.
00:42:10Shaparenko for Mikulenko.
00:42:14Shaparenko.
00:42:21Shaparenko.
00:42:22Nicely done.
00:42:23Urechov.
00:42:24No!
00:42:25Why did he not go for goal?
00:42:28Well, he's trying to give Dobrik a tap in.
00:42:33Well, this is great movement.
00:42:34Shaparenko just wants the way he peels into that midfield.
00:42:37Lovely run.
00:42:38Little touch.
00:42:40And it's just across the face of the goal.
00:42:43It's a difficult angle.
00:42:44You can't say that on.
00:42:45But, again, you can take a little bit off that.
00:42:48But it just shows you how they're capable here.
00:42:50Ukraine.
00:42:52And it's all happening in that midfield.
00:42:53Really good movement.
00:42:56This time Shaparenko making the extra man forward.
00:43:02Well, Urechov had the opportunity to hit it.
00:43:12Urechov.
00:43:19Without testing Castile.
00:43:22They've had a few little chances like that.
00:43:24Urechov.
00:43:26There, Dobrik dragged one wide.
00:43:27Sudakov put one over the top of the crossbar.
00:43:30And Belgium have got a yellow card here for the foul on Urechov.
00:43:33You know, this is all happening because you've got two wide players.
00:43:35Trossard, Doku just staying out wide.
00:43:38De Bruyne doesn't want to come back in help.
00:43:40So they're getting outnumbered.
00:43:43He's been dragged out of position.
00:43:45He's in the book.
00:43:46Two minutes to play in this first half.
00:43:47two minutes to play in this first half this might be a test for the
00:44:15Belgian back line they always Sudakov is going to take this I think it is
00:44:23indeed Sudakov and he tries to he tries to catch out Castile's just as
00:44:29Dubrovnik had tried to catch out Trubin at the other end yeah we've seen this
00:44:34one before and we should repeat not quite the quality
00:44:39they change the wingers over Belgium Tosada going to go out on that left-hand
00:44:49side
00:44:58Oh Nana
00:45:01Doc who was just being held and the free kick is Gavin Mikalenko he's the
00:45:10aggressor yeah he knows he has to be aggressive now a different challenge now
00:45:13this time Doc you out here on this right-hand side
00:45:17it's always likely to be a nervy ending to group B with all four sides coming
00:45:32into it on level points and that is still how we are
00:45:38winning that finding Mikalenko Oh Nanna
00:45:47Dubrovnik
00:45:50Trosser
00:45:53well picked up by Tim Chick
00:45:56slightly telegraphed that pass and Tim Chick read it Dubrovnik has won it back
00:46:00and tries to thread it through to Trosser Lukaku is in the middle Doc is
00:46:06arriving Dubrovnik Dubrovnik dug out the shot
00:46:11Trubin saved it at his near post well he came alive there Dubrovnik
00:46:16most of all his past and it comes back to he just shuffles his feet quite get
00:46:23the angle he's looking for
00:46:37Zabani over Tongan has just about kept it away from Yeremchuk see there's
00:46:44another example there you know if I'm a player I'm thinking there's no pressure
00:46:48on that ball they never go and engage Belgium throughout this game and then
00:46:51all of a sudden they're nearly in there Ukraine from one ball back to front
00:46:57minimum of two minutes to add on
00:47:06Sadako
00:47:16Zabani
00:47:36So
00:47:51Sudarkov
00:47:55Looks offside
00:47:57The engine didn't really make contact with it anyway, and the flag did go up he was offside
00:48:02Yes
00:48:04Yes, but how about the vision by the way look
00:48:08Just about straight offside we have half times d
00:48:11antony taylor
00:48:13Blows his whistle and halfway through the closing games
00:48:17Of group e we are as you were
00:48:21It's goalless in stuttgart at the break ukraine nil belgium nil
00:48:25Belgium nil
00:48:29Forget it
00:48:31Extraordinary great stuff. Thank you. It looks like we're ready to go back for the second half
00:48:36It's still all to play for uh, let's join martin keown and steve wilson
00:48:41Thank you once again gary
00:48:43So as we stand in
00:48:46Group e belgium would finish as runners-up behind romania on goals scored
00:48:51and ukraine
00:48:53Would finish bottom and go out
00:48:56so
00:48:58there is
00:48:59Lots to play for for both if ukraine want to stay in the tournament
00:49:04Then they have to find a way
00:49:07To turn this game in their favor and if belgium want to avoid a round of 16 game against france in dusseldorf
00:49:15then they need to
00:49:17Get going as well
00:49:19So
00:49:21Off we go ukraine from left to right all in yellow
00:49:26No halftime changes from either coach
00:49:38Swung in toward
00:49:40Dov bit cushioned down neatly and shaparenko was trying to tease something up, but it was taken away
00:49:46Tielemann's clearance has found ilia zabani
00:49:52Who lost the ball rather cheaply
00:49:57Doku is fouled
00:50:05Little push here
00:50:08Certainly a box of tricks is listening to the guys at halftime soon
00:50:12He's got his final decision making has got to be a whole lot better
00:50:16You want him to have the ball?
00:50:17Don't you right in the final third where he can make that little shimmy that he makes get some space
00:50:21Maybe look out for the car crew, but no real rhythm from belgium
00:50:26Really interesting in that halftime what they've been talking about doing in midfield because they're getting outnumbered at times
00:50:32And it's a little bit embarrassing for them
00:50:35telemans
00:50:38Onana
00:50:41Trosser
00:50:45Castagna for onana
00:50:53Fas to vertonga
00:51:05Ah de bruyne beautifully reverse ball into uri telemans telemans for trosser
00:51:15Blocked by matt vienco retrieved by the arsenal man
00:51:20Castagna
00:51:23Onana telemans de bruyne
00:51:29Slightly hurried clearance from svatov doku
00:51:46Oh
00:51:51That's giving the ball away cheaply
00:51:55Another example players not working in tandem
00:52:03To live sick to the semi-finals of the
00:52:07europa league did
00:52:09Tedesco in his 10 month time in charge of that before
00:52:13Taking up the reins at belgium
00:52:18Shafranko is picking himself up. So anthony taylor saying let's play on shall we and sudakov does and finds matt vienco
00:52:37You're in for dov bink
00:52:43Too many blue shirts around onana with a deflection de bruyne for trossard and castagna away
00:52:56Sabani
00:53:02Does that well sabani coming out no one's going to press him so
00:53:05He's decided he's going to travel with it when he receives the ball
00:53:09Oh
00:53:15He's traveling with it too
00:53:24Trossard didn't seem to cross his mind to have a go. He's found doku
00:53:29Who's found the route to goal blocked and just for the race boot court. Nikola shaparenko
00:53:39Is
00:53:41Well, i'm thinking now when the ball comes to truss i'm thinking hit it
00:53:45Well, I seem to the decision making here
00:53:48Isn't great perhaps for both teams
00:53:51Here it just seems so off the cuff, doesn't it? It doesn't really know
00:53:54It's like freestyle dancing
00:53:57They're not sure what's going to happen
00:53:59Needs to be much more measured
00:54:01Oh
00:54:05The game with been precious few real sights of gold
00:54:12But tongan slightly mistimed that lump that leap
00:54:22Brasco
00:54:31For tongan to tear
00:54:47Alexander chimchik with this throw in for ukraine
00:55:01So
00:55:05Lukaku for de bruyne not enough for de bruyne to go down
00:55:21Castagna's header to truss on castagna can make a run to truss. I was right. He's gone left instead
00:55:27Decent ball for doku put a space here chimchik getting back
00:55:31doku running at chinchik put it into a good position, but
00:55:36lukaku
00:55:37Didn't get there and it was fatoku
00:55:40Cleared comfortably. I'm, not sure how he can read that
00:55:43lukaku
00:55:45tina mans
00:56:01So
00:56:05Well may all be about delivery from de bruyne here
00:56:09Yeah, he went for that near post to the first half with his first delivery. I wonder if he's going to do the same again
00:56:18It's tina mans
00:56:24He's claiming a corner tina mans vociferously
00:56:27And the officials are determinedly saying not so
00:56:33Yeah, it's a little bit high for him, isn't it to get that down quickly enough to chest we know his quality from distance not
00:56:40This time. Yes fat ox saw it coming and reacted quickly
00:56:49He's well capable of the spectacular, however
00:56:57So
00:57:05Bottom of the group at the moment
00:57:09Just interesting with these two strikers
00:57:12They seem to be reluctant to get their full backs forward because they don't want to leave these two central defenders
00:57:16one v one
00:57:18Not something they would have encountered too many times the modern day getting two strikers. It's commonplace in my day, but not right now
00:57:27So
00:57:31And actually back threes or back fives are much rarer than they used to be
00:57:41Time in the sort of mid 90s when it felt like everyone played a back three
00:57:48Forward from matvienko
00:57:53It's a little test for
00:57:56The stanley but one that he passed
00:58:00They tell you martin on your seven and a half hour journey from cologne that i've
00:58:04Commentated on one goal in my last three games. I felt like charlie bucket looking in at the window of the sweet shop
00:58:10Thinking when am I going to get my ticket?
00:58:14Yes, don't take it personally steve. It's not you. I hope she might bring some with you but
00:58:19not yet
00:58:21well, i've had a goal in every game i've been at so
00:58:24Let's see, there's plenty of time here docu good little turn of pace being chased by tim chick
00:58:34Unana
00:58:48Matvienko held
00:58:50Hemming in trossard. He's found castagne a little one two at the broiner
00:59:04Well, he's had ankle problems michelenko he got injured in the merseyside derby
00:59:09Won memorably by everton and goodison park towards the end of the season got another ankle knock in a game against moldova corner played short
00:59:16Tross our docu great diving block by michelenko. Certainly. He didn't look injured there
00:59:22tineman's
00:59:23misdirected
00:59:24goal kick
00:59:26Just got caught out there a little bit short corner
00:59:30the great commitment edge of the box
00:59:33He is this might be time for zinchenko to come on at left back michelenko
00:59:40Michelenko if that's a recurrence of his ankle ligament issue
01:00:01I think that's the moment he realizes his tournament might be over
01:00:10And here comes alexander zinchenko
01:00:32You certainly play with more aggression than i've seen him playing for everton this season
01:00:40This might even help them with zinchenko coming on
01:00:43He'll probably want to play more centrally as he does sometimes hasn't really done it in this tournament comes centrally risk to receive the ball
01:00:49You know, he hasn't no no, he hasn't he's not on yet. By the way. Zinchenko is still
01:00:54Waiting his moment. So ukraine at the moment have 10 out there
01:01:01This group e currently being topped by romania who were thrashed three nil
01:01:06In their first game of the tournament by ukraine in munich
01:01:18Teat docu
01:01:23I'm, sorry, romania thrash ukraine, of course his docu across goal
01:01:31Well, he got in behind there jeremy docu
01:01:36Zinchenko has come on whilst they were waiting to get him on belgium nearly opened them up
01:01:40Yeah, again, you know, you look at he's got to pick out lukaku there, hasn't he? He's got time
01:01:46He's just flashing that
01:01:47between the defenders and the goalkeeper
01:01:50And I think he can find you look at the car who's aiming where he wants it
01:01:54By the way, how honest were ukraine there?
01:01:57Mikalenko really should have stayed on shouldn't he until he was ready to get sinchenko on nearly cost them
01:02:03Yeah, well he is taking the throw in now alexander zinchenko
01:02:10Brasco's forward ball found fasses there tussling with dovvik
01:02:16Oh, nana rather jumped into dovvik it's a throw into ukraine
01:02:22Zabani
01:02:26Zabani wall caught in possession. He's lucky
01:02:31It's just ball seemed to get stuck under his feet zabani. I don't think he was expecting it
01:02:40Trosser
01:02:45Tiananmen
01:02:47So
01:02:51Oh nana
01:02:54He's flat top kept it away from lukaku
01:02:57you're in
01:03:00Chaparrenko looks off side dog big flag goes up
01:03:06Wait a bit too soon there steve, didn't he?
01:03:10Just needs to be patient
01:03:12They work it nicely
01:03:15He doesn't get back on side from the initial run
01:03:2737
01:03:45Coming into this tournament belgium off the back of a desperately disappointing world cup in
01:03:49qatar when they went out in the
01:03:51Group skate this group stage. He only scored one goal in their three games and that was against canada
01:03:58Still really highly ranked though in fifa
01:04:03Well, they don't look the third best team in the world at the moment no
01:04:10Sudarkov losing out telemans
01:04:15So
01:04:33Played an hour
01:04:35So
01:04:40Belgium knows that a draw will send them through but I don't think finishing runners up in this group is
01:04:45on their bucket list really
01:04:54Ukraine know that if they draw they're looking for favors from frankfurt
01:04:59To send them through which at the moment they're not getting
01:05:01No, belgium won't want to face france
01:05:05They will not no, uh changes afoot here
01:05:08uri telemans
01:05:10Is going to make way for?
01:05:12belgium
01:05:15Walking off briskly
01:05:23And he is replaced by
01:05:28exciting
01:05:30Prospect fossard is the other man coming off by the way for belgium
01:05:37Mangala for telemans carrasco actually is coming on
01:05:44So lots of experience with
01:05:47Those two coming on actually when you when you look at their bench, they only selected a 25-man squad belgium along with france
01:05:53They were the two nations who?
01:05:55Decided to pick one fewer than they had to
01:06:00So
01:06:03And actually when you look at their bench today with
01:06:07Axel, vissel and
01:06:09Thomas munier out of action at the moment. It just looks a little bit
01:06:13thin on game changes
01:06:18Well the younger generation coming through left back an exception to that
01:06:30And they got back a yoko as well, but he's barely featured in the tournament so far is docu teat
01:06:48Tears touch wasn't quite good enough. This can be a throw into ukraine
01:07:00So
01:07:07Earned himself a free kick there. Yeah, both strikers working well together there
01:07:30For ukraine
01:07:35It feels like ukraine you're just hoping for good news from frankfurt
01:07:40Rather than pushing to do the job themselves at some point
01:07:45They're going to have to look for a win in this game if that news from
01:07:50Romania against slovakia doesn't come. Well, they're trying to press the ball now belgium, which they've not done and again
01:07:55Look, they've beaten that press
01:08:00So
01:08:02In possession out of possession, there's a lot of work to do here sudarkov matvienko sudarkov
01:08:12Timchik
01:08:15That was misplaced
01:08:17Dubrovnik for lukaku lukaku
01:08:21Swat up with him lukaku
01:08:23So
01:08:26Well, it's a save
01:08:27But a save that you would expect anatoly trubin to make all day long
01:08:31He would do and you're you're relying on individual brilliance here with belgium again 1v1 situation
01:08:37You know, that's a difficult angle just quite get the power he wants
01:08:43Will it be third time lucky for him
01:08:48Paul went straight through your mchuk
01:08:54So
01:08:56Vertonghen
01:09:18Belgium here are ambling into a fearsomely difficult round of 16 match against the french
01:09:26So
01:09:28It'd be a repeat of the 2018 world cup semi-final if it happens
01:09:39De bruyne docu
01:09:45It's a foul by docu
01:09:47So
01:09:53He's almost too keen isn't he just needs to be patient
01:10:00And so often with doki you just feel exhilarated by him you do but not today and I think when he plays on the pep
01:10:07Who organizes it for him the team shape? He can be quite brilliant
01:10:10In the final third he's kept greelish out of the team
01:10:13this season
01:10:16And he's not doing it
01:10:18it's not just seeing what we talk a lot about the english team, but being we see the phodons of people, but
01:10:23trying to
01:10:24Replicate that form for your national team isn't always easy
01:10:32Shaparenko
01:10:35Kastania forward de bruyne blocked by matvienko zinchenko. Oh nana
01:10:42It's a
01:10:44Challenge for his left on the ground, but lukaku's knocked it through the end of carrasco carrasco great covering
01:10:52Great covering at some personal cost by alexander timchick here
01:11:00We've got timchick down at one end after a quite brilliant recovery
01:11:04And nonana at the other
01:11:06Very good advantage played by the referee. Yeah. Lukaku does brilliant here. Look at that for a turn flicks it to v1
01:11:12You wonder could should he just be shoving that earlier?
01:11:15To de bruyne in the end the door shut on him
01:11:25It's a challenge isn't it on anana? Yeah, he's back on his feet. Oh nana is
01:11:36It might take a little bit longer
01:11:39For timchick to be getting up
01:11:44Great defending that it's his spirit to get back. He doesn't give up on it
01:11:59Is a
01:12:01A chat going on with uh, anana a chat going on with our tour
01:12:06Teat and jan vatongen having his say on the touchline whilst timchick
01:12:11Picks himself up
01:12:13And waits to come back on
01:12:15I do feel it's beholden on the managers to give these players the platform to go and reproduce what they do in their club sides
01:12:21and
01:12:22Somehow it's not quite happening here
01:12:27So much talent on the pitch
01:12:31So
01:12:33Tim chick straight back into the action with a header which fell to carrasco
01:12:37Kastania here has a little bit of room ahead of him in which to work
01:12:42Oh nana
01:12:48My gala
01:12:50So
01:12:57Vanna malinowski and stephanenko are going to be on shortly for ukraine. That's a foul
01:13:02By dog dick 109 and a yellow card
01:13:06for our 10 dog dick
01:13:14Lazy that really
01:13:16Yeah, but he has a role to play one of those front players is grafting dropping back in leaving one up top
01:13:26So here come changes for ukraine
01:13:39Crashco
01:13:41Making way
01:13:43Yaremchuk making way
01:13:46and shaparenko
01:13:48Making way vladislav van at will go and play up front with artem dovbik
01:13:59Coming into uh midfield taras stepanenko
01:14:03will replace nikola
01:14:05shaparenko they play together in the
01:14:08opening game of the
01:14:10tournament and malinowski
01:14:13Comes on for brajko
01:14:16So
01:14:31Some important players gone off there
01:14:35Well, he's making made some big decisions with his team selection
01:14:40did
01:14:41Sergei revrov and making some decisions during the game, but fortune might favor the brave
01:14:50Just wants more energy on that pitch, I believe too much more of the same
01:14:55Ruslan malinowski has just come on with the forward ball couldn't find van at who's also just come on
01:15:01Yeah back to two strikers van at
01:15:03As you say playing down the middle
01:15:0714 goals for dino kiev last season van at
01:15:12is
01:15:14Stepanenko
01:15:16Is with shakhtar donetsk and played in the last euros a couple of uh, ukraine's games at the last euros
01:15:24As sudarkov comes forward and finds malinovsky
01:15:29Who is with genoa
01:15:31So
01:15:41Fizzed into the edge of the area cleared away by vout fass
01:15:49Artur chayats forward ball to docu
01:15:56Inside of zobani and the passage behind lukaku
01:16:01A simple pass again
01:16:06Do you know I think he's doing things steve at such a tremendous pace
01:16:09He's just not giving himself a chance to to make a simple pass
01:16:26Right
01:16:32So
01:16:52Carrasco lukaku yannick carrasco good hit good save
01:16:57Trubin carrasco's shot was venomous docu now skipping and still stayed on his feet when others might not have
01:17:05Good block by svatov
01:17:08Carrasco
01:17:10Have they come alive belgium certainly up the path up the pace de bruin has ball in
01:17:17Malinovsky got something on it almost put it back into the danger area though, and it's lashed away by sudarkov and this has come to
01:17:24Do
01:17:40Just slows him down stayed on his feet
01:17:46End-to-end stuff by the way, and they don't really deal with that ball initially and then he's away
01:17:51And look he's just ferrying him showing in the line sorts his feet out reacts well gets his arm across
01:17:58problem solved
01:18:01Well, probably the most exciting couple of minutes of the game there
01:18:04That was carrasco
01:18:05And then that was really good play because he comes all the way over to the left and he's on his right foot
01:18:10rifles that shot
01:18:13Now belgium will be aware and that was a sticky moment for them that if ukraine were to take the lead here
01:18:20belgium would be heading out
01:18:24And that is don beckham that's made the block
01:18:33Zinchenko deflection gathered by castillos
01:18:43Martin kia and I have a little sneaking suspicion a game of football is about to start
01:18:48Well, it seems to be breaking out into one doesn't it?
01:18:51Really good block again there. Look look what it meant to him
01:18:54been stretched though
01:18:57Two strikers up top fresh legs up there again, but they're equal to the task
01:19:11He's done that more than once today
01:19:17It's
01:19:28Nicely done. This is nikola matvienko for ukraine
01:19:32So
01:19:41Zabani there was a run from malinovsky, but zabani couldn't find him docu takes it up for belgium
01:19:56Statham enko came in there with a really big tackle
01:20:02This is the block isn't it really good defending there
01:20:19There are 15 minutes to go in group b and still all four sides could finish anywhere from first to fourth
01:20:32And
01:20:34Highlights of
01:20:36the
01:20:38Climax to this group and group f of course tonight bbc1
01:20:43at 10 40
01:20:45belgium
01:20:46are about to
01:20:48Bring on johan bakayoko the 21 year old
01:20:52Making a real name for himself with psv eindhoven this season as they ran away with the eredivisie title
01:20:58and jeremy docu
01:21:01Is being replaced so both the wide players docu and truss are replaced by carrasco and now by johan bakayoko
01:21:15It wasn't his day, but let's see if this young man can do any better
01:21:22Zabani with a free kick vertonghen's header dropping to steppen enko
01:21:31So
01:21:35Well, there have been a couple of uh
01:21:38Very famous ukrainian performances against belgium as the greatest of all
01:21:43Andrei, shevchenko watches on
01:21:46Even though they've never actually played each other before these two nations. Remember igor belenov
01:21:50Well, he was from odessa and ukraine then soviet union part of the soviet union hatrick against belgium in 1986
01:21:57Belgium won 4-3 an extra time
01:22:01unforgettable game of football if you were
01:22:05lucky enough to watch that
01:22:10One of the best games of that tournament
01:22:15Nice little flick on by doddick doesn't find van at
01:22:23Zinchenko steppen enko
01:22:28I
01:22:30Mean you have to hand it
01:22:32To ukraine the way they're developing through the tournament
01:22:35and I saw their first their second game against slovakia and
01:22:38You could see second half performance fantastic and they've got much better again. They've used this system. They know it inside out
01:22:45And belgium don't know how to deal with it. Andrei. Yarmolenko is going to be on shortly for ukraine
01:22:53Malinovsky
01:22:56Zinchenko
01:23:01Stepanenko sudarkov
01:23:07Showing real ambition sudarkov
01:23:10dov big
01:23:12Got the shot away
01:23:13Was it deflected? It wasn't it's a goal kick
01:23:16One or two ukrainians behind that goal had an angle which suggested
01:23:20As the net ruffled and it might have snuck in but not so once again somebody galloping through the midfield on opposed
01:23:29He just tries to get that shot off and as he has he's got cramp by the way just
01:23:33just
01:23:34flagging a little bit didn't put
01:23:36he didn't knock it out of his feet enough for him to get the shot off, but
01:23:40They're working really hard. Aren't they?
01:23:42Ukraine at the top there particularly those front two super little players sudarkov number 14
01:23:50He's clever
01:23:52At the other end of the korea spectrum 34 year old andrei yarmolenko is
01:23:57Stretching on the near touchline. That's antony taylor's whistle and vanap was off and running but
01:24:04Malinovsky has gone into the back of aurel mangala
01:24:08Like this challenge. They're asking the question. Is this an only challenge, you know, do you see an awful lot wrong with that?
01:24:13Yeah
01:24:15Height and distance wins the ball. Yeah, well one's momentum to ground and the other one didn't well
01:24:21Did that to shira many times by the way
01:24:24Svatox coming off change of formation andrei yarmolenko is coming on for
01:24:30122nd international appearance. He sits second in ukraine's all-time goal scorers list two behind
01:24:36They're watching andrei. Shevchenko
01:24:39And he's still a massive favorite
01:24:43So
01:24:46What are they going to back four now ukraine are they going for this yeah, well they've got to they're going out at the moment
01:24:54Well, obviously that's the game plan just leave it as long as they can and then really change things up
01:25:03Their problem really is that romania and slovakia in the other game in frankfurt where it's still 1-1 both know they're both going through
01:25:10Belgium are going through is it is at the moment?
01:25:13So all the necessity to make things change here is on ukrainian shoulders. Well plenty of jeopardy
01:25:21Well, there may be but they're going out if they don't go for it
01:25:33Matvienko
01:25:35Matvienko
01:25:46Malinovsky yarmolenko
01:25:53Van at in a little struggle in a battle with vertonghen which he won to corner
01:26:05So
01:26:09Could this be the moment
01:26:18Be a massive one if it is it's a nervous moment for belgium, that's for sure
01:26:25So
01:26:31Eight to play malinovsky went to the near post and my goodness me nearly pulled it off castiles
01:26:39Just about got there dear. Oh, dear
01:26:43I mean look where he is. Look, he's got the ground. He's got to make up and he just gets across
01:26:47I mean, it's great reactions. It's a brilliant effort from malinovsky. You have to ask the question
01:26:52Why isn't there a player on that near post?
01:26:55There is now
01:27:00Malinovsky's corner kick headed up and headed over
01:27:05By taras stephanenko
01:27:08If this corner kick
01:27:11That one had gone in
01:27:13That would have been one of the most memorable moments of any european championship
01:27:17Well, I mean look the audacity to go for that and in the end it's great
01:27:21Reflexes from the keeper you have to say an uncomfortable moment
01:27:26So
01:27:53Yeah, without doubt it's the calf
01:27:55Must be cramped again
01:27:59Well, i'm not surprised he's made a couple of uh
01:28:03Fabulous interventions including one brilliant recovery run to deny carrasco exactly and his role is to be the wingback initially
01:28:11Hell of a long way to get back
01:28:15Lukaku is still there almost forgotten about him. It's a throw in which teat will take
01:28:25So
01:28:31Oh nana back to teat who's
01:28:34Now retreating towards his own goal much to the derision of the ukrainian supporters
01:28:40Who are behind that goal away to the right hand side?
01:28:48Matvienko to zabani zinchenko covered by onana
01:28:55Or malinovsky's nick that from mangala who is a bit static
01:29:03Sidarkov riding the challenge yarmulenko blocked by onana
01:29:12Yarmulenko doesn't quite look the player that he once did
01:29:16If he could do something special just inviting them on belgium
01:29:20Yeah
01:29:23Well yarmulenko's career in european championships goes all the way back to 2012 so
01:29:29Not short on experience he might not
01:29:32Have lost any nows, but he's bound to have lost some pace
01:29:35Here's kevin de bruyne
01:29:37de bruyne accelerating
01:29:39de bruyne
01:29:41lukaku
01:29:43It's a corner kick
01:29:46Makioka was waiting and hoping best work coming from de bruyne and once more little ball in
01:29:54Bouncing around isn't it? He's controlled never really that clean one of the best touches
01:30:07You think if he's cleaner in his work there he can get that cross away
01:30:16The corner plate sure then played back to de bruyne
01:30:32And the ball is one and headed to zinchenko
01:30:36And this is sudarkov. They're playing a dangerous game belgium
01:30:40Lovely ball to andre yarmulenko
01:30:44Yarmulenko to vladislav van at blocked by vertonghen yarmulenko will clip it in
01:30:50That's going up from onana
01:30:53Zinchenko trying to get underneath it
01:30:55misjudged completely by artur tayar
01:30:58yarmulenko
01:31:00vertonghen
01:31:01de bruyne break on three on two two yannick carrasco
01:31:06Romelu lukaku and kevin de bruyne against two carrasco not the past de bruyne wanted bakayoko wide
01:31:17Well, they could have done the deal right there and then they could have done but matt vienka
01:31:23Really good defending he goes with de bruyne and he's making that pass just a little bit more difficult for him and then
01:31:30It's not clean again. It's gone quite wide and then they lose control of it
01:31:34It's a bit of a wild finish once more
01:31:41They're leaving the door open here belgium sudarkov
01:31:47Malinowski he hogies sudarkov
01:31:52Alexander timchik
01:31:57Good touch and the layoff
01:31:59Malinowski absolutely flattened castaña
01:32:09Super hit
01:32:15Well, he's given that everything smashed it
01:32:26You expect him to get in the way of that
01:32:30So
01:32:37Well, here's the confirmation from the uh
01:32:40Goal line technology that that malinowski corner did not cross the line. That's how close we were to seeing
01:32:46a goal
01:32:48That's what it means to these people
01:32:52It's really hard to put yourself in the minds of these players what's going on in their
01:32:55Their country right now and they're doing their utmost here this inspired from them
01:33:00Louis serpenta is going to be coming on shortly for belgium
01:33:07Can ukraine find a goal which would see them stay in euro 2024
01:33:12And knock out the mighty belgium. Zinchenko can't quite control it
01:33:16He wondered if he might have gone for a first time cross there
01:33:22It's really difficult to
01:33:23To pluck that one out of the sky
01:33:27Maybe i'm doing a disservice there. Maybe he just misses the ball, but
01:33:34Lukaku is off appenders on
01:33:48How much added time
01:33:51Is there going to be
01:33:54Glenn newberg from sweden is the fourth official as lukaku sits down still no goal
01:34:05Header from stepanenko malinovsky
01:34:13Sinchenko beaten in the air by dubruina
01:34:19It's a ukrainian throw in
01:34:21And the board says four
01:34:36Mangala carrasco carrasco. It's actually been pretty lively since he came on carrasco went to ground
01:34:43Anthony taylor's not interested at all
01:34:46Malinovsky for ukraine
01:34:51Malinovsky
01:34:53Ruslan malinovsky
01:34:55Decent little ball sudarkov great man
01:35:00Josh is straight
01:35:02The goalkeeper castiles. It's a brilliant run by sudarkov
01:35:07And he could have won it here for ukraine. He's been brilliant in that midfield
01:35:11He just keeps going and going you think he's going to create the angle
01:35:16He puts it straight at the keeper
01:35:21Oh dear
01:35:27He's such a talent top scorer at that under 21 european championship last summer top scorer in the tournament not just for ukraine
01:35:38Anthony taylor says
01:35:41play on as we watch this, uh
01:35:44Challenged by zabani on carrasco. There was certainly no foul there. Nothing doing matvienko forward sudarkov
01:35:53Lovely turn sudarkov
01:35:57Van at turned into trouble
01:35:59Mangala was there. Yeah, he holds on to that ball. Sudarkov is on a run again charging through that midfield
01:36:06Clipped into anana
01:36:08So
01:36:13Artur teat looking for yannick carrasco, it's a
01:36:17Struggling chimchick trying to get back with muscles cramping carrasco
01:36:23You think carrasco there would just keep the ball?
01:36:27Belgium just seem to think they've got a score
01:36:30Well, they've got a score if they want to win the group and avoid france
01:36:34well, I mean the way it's looking I think it may be a case of just
01:36:37Say what they've got
01:36:47To take this throw for belgium
01:36:52Kevin de bruyne
01:36:55It's a belgian corner of stephanenko
01:36:59So
01:37:02An unsatisfactory day
01:37:05For domenico tedesco's belgium, but it looks like they're going to go through
01:37:10unless
01:37:12unless
01:37:14Well, they're not sending any of their central defenders up
01:37:20Lewis appendix the only blue shirts in the ukrainian penalty area bakayoko
01:37:25succeeds in winning another corner
01:37:27Malinovsky will I think the message is clear. Let's not lose this trying to win it. Yeah
01:37:37The whistles are from the ukrainian supporters
01:37:43Just about kept in play by bakayoko
01:37:46That's come out of playoff. Kevin de bruyne and ukraine have a goal kick and they have about 30 seconds now
01:37:58So
01:38:02Trubin forward dovetail control was poor
01:38:13Matt vienco
01:38:16Slovakia and romania has finished one one
01:38:20Romania topping the group slovakia going through in third place as it stands
01:38:26Anthony taylor blows his whistle and ukraine are out of euro 2024
01:38:34Incredibly unfortunate
01:38:36belgium go through rather sheepishly
01:38:39And they will face france
01:38:42In the round of 16
01:38:43But it's the end of the road
01:38:46for ukraine
01:38:47Who are the first ever nation to fail to progress from a group with four points?
01:38:54It's finished in stuttgart ukraine nil belgium nil
01:39:03Well belgium have got themselves through but um
01:39:07Feel for ukraine. I mean they get everything didn't they towards the end? They're probably the better side
01:39:13overall
01:39:14But it's heartbreak for them. And as steve quite rightly said the first team
01:39:18Uh to not make it through with four points. I do think this um
01:39:23This system is uh flawed at the moment. They need to look at it
01:39:27I suspect at some point um
01:39:29But as you can see from the group table there romania reached the knockout stage of the euros for just the second time
01:39:35Topping the group on goals scored by failing to win belgium head through as runners up meaning they meet france next
01:39:43Slovakia also progressed the last 16 where there is a possibility that they could face england
01:39:49As for ukraine as I just said first time this tournament, uh was expanded since 2016 that a team was bowed out
01:39:56with four points, which
