Euro 2020 results

England registered a narrow 1-0 win over 2018 World Cup finalists Croatia in their first match of the European Championship, riding on a Raheem Sterling strike during the 57th minute of the match. The Netherlands also managed to claim all three points in their opening match of the Euro 2020 campaign on Sunday after playing a five-goal thriller against Ukraine in Amsterdam.

After seeing the match all tied up at the halftime mark, the Dutch kicked off the second half in fantastic fashion with PSG star Georginio Wijnaldum opening the scoring for the Netherlands. Weghorst doubled their lead only to see his goal cancelled by a fantastic comeback from Ukraine. However, Dumfries' 85th-minute strike made sure that Frank de Boer's team pocketed all three points on Sunday. Meanwhile, Austria too kicked off their tournament with a comfortable 3-1 win over North Macedonia.

Just like the Netherlands, Gareth Southgate's Three Lions also find themselves on the top of the Group D table with three points in the kitty. England next match sees them square off against Scotland as Harry Kane & co. look to capitalise on their win over Croatia and win their group stage match of the ongoing Euro 2020 campaign.
