The first round of matches at the Euros was a filled with intensity. Skills and sumptuous goals were on display, including spectacular tackles and great team play from all the teams involved.
The first round of matches began with Germany trashing Scotland 5-1 at the Allianz Arena, and ending last night with Portugal defeating Czech Republic 2-1, as the young Portuguese prodigy, Conceicao ended up scoring what proved to be the winner.
What is football without a bit of upset? The first upset of the tournament was served cold to Belgium by Slovakia, who scored in the 7th minute, causing the Dominic Tedesco’s side to chase the game for 90 minutes. Although they scored twice via Romelu Lukaku, but both goals were chalked off by VAR.
It was a rollercoaster ride for some top teams who would be hoping to do better in the 2nd round of matches. Injury also to key players like Mbappe would also have a ripple effect on France going forward. This might be an opportunity for some other players to prove their mettle and have a place in the team.
