STUTTGART, Germany — (AP) — Belgium got the best out of a 0-0 draw at the European Championship on Wednesday, advancing to the last 16 while Ukraine became the first team with four points in a group to be eliminated.

The downside for the Belgians at Euro 2024 is they will next face France and Kylian Mbappe on Monday in Duesseldorf.

“We go to win. We are here and qualified for this Euro to be part of the best teams. Now, we face a top team,” Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco said. “That’s why we qualified, otherwise we could stay at home. These are the games we’re looking for, and everything is possible.”

All four teams in Group E finished with four points. Romania ended up first, followed by Belgium and Slovakia. Ukraine was last on goal difference.

Romania and Slovakia drew 1-1 in Frankfurt and both advanced to the knockout stage.
