The English arrive for the match with the warning signal on. The team disappointed with below-expected performances in the group stage, in which they finished as leader of Group C with five points (two draws and one win).
Manager Gareth Southgate said England needed to put the past behind them and aim for a place in the quarter-finals.
“Everything that has happened now is pretty irrelevant. We have things we can build on, but also, this is a different test, a different phase of the tournament,” he said.
On the other hand, Slovakia advanced as one of the best third-placed teams. The team surprised and beat Belgium in the first round, 1-0. The team was in third place in Group E with four points.
Now, the Slovaks will try to beat another giant from the continent to continue in the competition.
