Belgium wins to leave Finland awaiting for last 16 hopes
The St. Petersburg competition was dominated by the top-ranked team in the globe. However, they were responsible for Lukas Hradecky’s goal for Fukoli before Romelu Lukaku added the insurance.
Denmark’s 4-1 victory over Russia in Copenhagen caused Finland to fall from second to third position in Group B.
And they must now be waiting to know if they meet the requirements to move up to the top four teams in the third position.
On Saturday in Amsterdam, the Danes will play another game against Wales.
Finland looked good in their maiden participation in the major competition.
Until Hradecky turned Thomas Vermaelen’s header on his line after returning to him with woodwork, it would continue to play in the knockout stages.
Due to their -2 goal differential, they are currently in danger for the third time.
The top four clubs in each division will advance to the elimination rounds.
Furthermore, with three more teams remaining, Switzerland and Ukraine already have higher records than the Finns.
Because they all have four points thanks to Belgium’s victory, England, the Czech Republic, Sweden, and France will all advance even if they fall to third place.

Team Belgium’s De Bruyne replies to questions about his fitness
On June 27, in Seville, Belgium will play one of the teams that took third place.
And with only one loss in their previous 26 games, they appear to be a formidable opponent.
In addition, eight changes were made by head coach Roberto Martinez after their 2-1 victory over Denmark.
Additionally, the team’s demotion slowed down as his side only performed well when they were on the bench.
The debut of Jeremy Doku and Eden Hazard’s opponent, the Finnish goalie Hradecky, was outstanding.
Hradecky, though, was helpless when the ball struck him across the goal line as Vermaelen’s header struck the post.
And after seven minutes, he was powerless to stop Lukaku from converting Kevin de Bruyne’s cross.
With the suspicion of pre-tournament fitness after he smashed his nose and eye socket in the Champions League final, De Bruyne’s effort will thrill Belgian supporters.
With 107 players on the field, the Manchester City midfielder received more touches than any other player.
And has made a game-high five tackles and played more crucial passes (seven) than any other player.
