Complete schedule

Monday

Germany – Netherlands 1-0

Debutant Jamie Leweling's finish allowed Germany to secure a place in the quarter-finals as one of the top two teams in Group A3 after the 23-year-old caught a loose ball from a corner just after the hour mark. Maximilian Mittelstädt and Tim Kleindienst tested Bart Verbruggen in the first half, and Ronald Koeman's visitors came close twice in the closing stages.

Belgium – France 1:2

Randal Kolo Muani scored twice in Brussels as Les Bleus extended their winning streak against Belgium to seven competitive games. After Youri Tielemans sent a penalty over the crossbar in the 23rd minute, Kolo Muani scored from the spot twelve minutes later. Loïs Openda headed the equalizer in first-half stoppage time, but France's number 12 scored the winner in the 62nd minute before Aurélien Tchouameni was sent off for Les Bleus with 14 minutes remaining.

Italy 4:1 Israel

Omri Glazer made some great saves in the first half, but when Mateo Retegui scored a penalty in the 41st minute, the Azzurri were unstoppable. Giovanni Di Lorenzo headed the Azzurri's second goal and while Abu Fani responded straight away from a corner, Italy responded forcefully, with Davide Frattesi and Di Lorenzo hitting fine low throws to ensure the Azzurri remained in control at the top of Group A2.

Bosnia and Herzegovina 0-2 Hungary

Dominik Szoboszlai scored two goals to give Hungary its first win of the season. The hosts took an early lead in Zenica, but Hungary's captain put the visitors ahead with a low shot eight minutes before half-time. Five minutes after the restart he doubled their lead by coolly converting a penalty after substitute Nail Omerović was penalized for a foul in the box.
