Belgium vs Slovakia
Based on the FIFA Men's World Ranking, Slovakia's win was the biggest upset in UEFA European Championship history, with 45 places separating Belgium (3rd) and Slovakia (48th).[9] This was short lived, however, since Georgia (74th) beat Portugal (6th) 2-0 on June 26 in Group F. 68 places separated Georgia and Portugal, beating the Belgium-Slovakia record by 23 places.

Discipline
Fair play points would have been used as a tiebreaker if the head-to-head and overall records of teams had been tied (and if a penalty shoot-out was not applicable as a tiebreaker). These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received by players and team officials in all group matches as follows:[5]
- yellow card = 1 point
- red card as a result of two yellow cards = 3 points
- direct red card = 3 points
- yellow card followed by direct red card = 4 points
Only one of the above deductions was applied to a player or team official in a single match.
