Slovakia guaranteed Round of 16 berth as 3rd-place finisher; Hungary also in
Slovakia qualified for the Round of 16 - the country's first foray into the knockout rounds of a European Championship - as one of the four best third-placed finishers thanks to Northern Ireland's loss to Germany on Tuesday.
Hungary is also guaranteed of a spot in the next round, although it can still technically finish above third place in Group F with a win or draw against Portugal.
They are the 10th and 11th teams to advance in France.

England fired 27 shots in total but it couldn't break the Slovakian line. The players and staff celebrated the tie in the dressing room as if it was a win.

Hungary, meanwhile, has stunned prognosticators by surging to the top of Group F with four points of its own. A 2-0 win over Austria sent the Hungarians on route to qualification, and a late own goal against Iceland gifted them an important 1-1 draw.
