Group E got underway with one of the biggest upsets in the history of the European Championships as Slovakia secured a shock 1-0 win over Belgium at the Commerzbank-Arena in Frankfurt.
Despite a fast start from The Red Devils, it was Slovakia who took the lead after seven minutes as Belgian goalkeeper Koen Casteels could only parry Juraj Kucka's effort into the path of Ivan Schranz, who then slotted the ball into the bottom corner.
Belgium pushed for an equaliser in the second half with Romelu Lukaku having two goals ruled out by VAR, the second of which was due to a controversial handball call against substitute Loïs Openda.
However, Domenico Tedesco's men were wasteful in front of goal and Slovakia were able to hold onto a memorable 1-0 win.
Here are the player ratings from a memorable afternoon.
Belgium
Koen Casteels - 7/10
Casteels may feel as though he could have done more to prevent the goal, but other than that he didn't really put a foot wrong.
He made a sharp save on the stroke of half-time from a crisp Lukáš Haraslín volley to keep the scoreline at 1-0, and didn't see an awful lot of action in the second half as Belgium pushed for an equaliser at the other end of the pitch.
Timothy Castagne - 5/10
The Fulham full-back struggled on the right-hand side up against Haraslín and didn't offer an awful lot going forward either.
Zeno Debast - 6/10
Making just his ninth appearance for Belgium, Zeno Debast was solid in possession but did struggle to cope with the hold-up play of Róbert Boženík at times.
Wout Faes - 6/10
His defending was questionable for Slovakia's goal, but Wout Faes grew into the game as his side began to see more of the ball.
He made some strong tackles against a potent Slovakia attack and displayed his range of passing on several occasions.
Yannick Carrasco - 5/10
Yannick Carrasco failed to have any real affect on the game, although he does deserve some leniency given the fact he was playing out of position at left-back.
Had he have played in his strongest position on the wing in the final third of the pitch, his rating would likely have been much higher than a five, but from a defensive standpoint he struggled in the absence of Thomas Meunier.
Orel Mangala - 4/10
Whilst he kept things tidy in the midfield, Orel Mangala did very little when it came to starting attacking sequences for his side when they desperately needed it.
His afternoon came to a premature end when he was substituted before the hour mark, and it proved to be an afternoon to forget for the Lyon midfielder.
Amadou Onana - 7/10
On what was a disappointing afternoon for The Red Devils, Amadou Onana proved to be a bright spark in the middle of the pitch for his side.
It was the kind of performance we've become accustomed to seeing from him at Everton, the kind that has attracted the interest of some of Europe's top clubs.
Jérémy Doku 6/10
He looked like Belgium's biggest threat going forward with his blistering pace and willingness to take on the Slovakia full-backs, and deserved a goal.
Unforutnately for Doku, it was his lazy pass which led to the only goal of the game, and therefore drops his rating to a six when it should've been much higher.
Kevin De Bruyne - 6/10
Kevin De Bruyne created a number of chances but was unfortunately let down by his teammates on the day in front of goal.
The Manchester City man began to drop deeper on the pitch in the second half just to get on the ball more as his side searched for an equaliser, but in doing so relinquished his threat in front of goal.
Leandro Trossard - 4/10
The winger had no real clear-cut chances and was ineffective throughout the game, highlighted by the fact that he was brought off when his side needed a goal.
Romelu Lukaku - 5/10
It was a mixed afternoon for Lukaku, who was wasteful in front of goal by his usual high standards on several occasions.
Although, he will feel unlucky having had two goals disallowed due to a marginal offside and a questionable handball call respectively.
Substitutes
Johan Bakayoko - 6/10
The 21-year-old winger looked threatening after coming on, and very nearly scored but saw his effort clearly off the line brilliantly by Dávid Hancko.
Youri Tielemans - 6/10
Youri Tielemans kept thing tidy in midfield as his side pushed for an equaliser, but would've wanted more than 15 minutes on the pitch to make an impact.
Dodi Lukebakio - 5/10
The striker looked lively when he came on, but like Tielemans, didn't have enough time to leave his mark on the game.
Loïs Openda - 7/10
Despite only being on the pitch for six minutes plus the seven minutes of stoppage time, Openda thought he had set up the equaliser for Lukaku before VAR ruled out the goal.
Regardless, he certainly made his case to the manager for more minutes in Belgium's next match against Romania on Saturday.
Slovakia
Martin Dúbravka - 7/10
The Newcastle United goalkeeper looked shaky at times with the ball at his feet as Slovakia tried playing out from the back, but ultimately kept a clean sheet and made a number of saves that helped his side to a historic win.
Peter Pekarík - 8/10
The 37-year-old certainly didn't look 37-years-old as he was flying up and down the right-hand side for Slovakia, proving to be strong in defence whilst also being a threat in the attacking third for his side.
Denis Vavro - 7/10
Denis Vavro made several important clearances for his side as they faced spells of Belgian pressure, and was able to help limit Lukaku's impact on the game.
Milan Škriniar - 8/10
The Slovakia captain led by example as he showcased his versatile skill set at the heart of the defence.
He was calm on the ball and was strong in his tackles, a combination which Belgium ultimately had no answer for.
Dávid Hancko - 8/10
Another strong defensive performance up against Doku, but Hancko gets a rating of eight mainly thanks to his goal line clearance from Johan Bakayoko's shot which kept the scoreline at 1-0 and ultimately earned his side the win.
Juraj Kucka - 6/10
Juraj Kucka had no standout moments in the match, but did what he had to do to help his side preserve the lead and limit the impact of the Belgian midfield.
Stanislav Lobotka - 9/10
The Napoli midfielder was an easy pick for the Man of the Match award.
He was the metronome for Slovakia in the middle of the park and was a calming presence in what was no doubt a nerve-racking environment for his teammates.
Ondrej Duda - 8/10
Ondrej Duda formed a strong partnership with Lobotka in midfield and was key to the success Slovakia had playing out from the back. He popped up in spaces all of the pitch, and never stopped running.
Ivan Schranz - 8/10
Schranz wrote himself into the history books by scoring the goal which caused one of the biggest upsets in the history of the European Championships.
He had to react quickly for his goal after Casteels parried the ball into his path, but he was calm enough to set himself and slot the ball into the bottom corner.
Róbert Boženík - 7/10
He didn't get on the score sheet, but Boženík played a huge role in the win for Slovakia with his brilliant hold-up play and his tireless work-rate throughout the game.
Lukáš Haraslín - 8/10
Haraslín was a real threat for Slovakia down the left-hand side and almost got himself a well-earned goal on the stroke of half-time, but Casteels made a sharp save to deny him.
Substitutes
David Strelec - 6/10
David Strelec replaced Boženík with 20 minutes to play, and he continued the hard work that the striker had put in before him, acting as an attacking outlet for his side.
Tomáš Suslov - 6/10
Like Strelec, Tomáš Suslov was brought on to help his side see the game out, and that's exactly what he helped them do without having a major impact on proceedings.
Dávid Ďuriš - 5/10
Dávid Ďuriš didn't see much of the ball after coming on and was mainly used to press the Belgian back line whilst out of possessions.
Adam Obert - N/A
