England and Netherlands avoid last 16 clash
England will face Slovakia and Netherlands will face Romania in the Round of 16 at UEFA Euro 2024 after Hungary was eliminated.
Both the Three Lions and the Oranje had already qualified for the knockout stage after their respective third matches, but the identity of their opponents in the next round was still unknown.
It had appeared likely two of Europe's heavyweights would meet in the Round of 16, with Netherlands third in its group and potentially paired with Group C winner England.
However, Georgia's shock win against Portugal altered the draw, sending Hungary home at the debutant's expense.
Spain, the only team with a 100 per cent record, will face Georgia, while Portugal play Slovenia.
Instead of Netherlands, England will meet Slovakia, with Ronald Koeman's men instead set for a clash with Group E winner Romania.
The half of the draw involving England and Netherlands appears wide open, with a number of heavyweights doing battle on the opposite side.
