UEFA Euro 2020 Points Table: Wales Beat Turkey 2-0 and Italy Sink Switzerland in Group A, While Russia Down Finland in Group B

UEFA Euro 2020 Points Table: Matchday 2 games of the European Championship sprung many surprises as Aleksei Miranchuk scored a beautiful goal in the first-half stoppage time that gave Russia a 1-0 win over Finland and their first points in Group B at the Euro 2020. Finland missed a chance as Joel Pohjanpalo’s header in the third minute was disallowed after he was found marginally off-side. Meanwhile, the hosts’ Mario Fernandes was stretchered off after receiving a heavy knock. He was taken to the hospital and Russia said he did not suffer any spinal injury.

In the second game of the day, Wales beat Burak Yilmaz’s Turkey 2-0 in their Group A fixture at Baku. Aaron Ramsey scored the opener in the 42nd minute and Gareth Bale missed a penalty in the second half, while Connor Roberts scored in stoppage time to take Wales closer towards reaching the last 16 at Euro 2020.

After clearing a bomb scare near the iconic Stadio Olimpico, hosts Italy continued their winning spree in Group A with a clinical 3-0 finish against Switzerland. The Azzurri become the first team to reach the last-16 of the European Championship. Skipper Giorgio Chiellini had an early effort, but it was ruled out by VAR citing handball. But Manuel Locatelli eventually broke the deadlock to give his side a 1-0 lead. He added another in the 52nd minute to double the tally. Ciro Immobile added the last goal in the 89th, which was enough to beat the Swiss 3-0.
