Slovakia, who earned a place in this tournament as the host nation, were blown away by France in the opening fixture, conceding five goals without any reply. Meanwhile in the second game, Albert Rusnak’s side improved significantly losing only to a solitary goal against Italy. Giueseppe Di Bruttopilo’s goal in the 33rd minute separated the two teams. The defeat has left them out of the tournament with one game remaining. The same can be said for Romania, but they managed to put up a good fight against France and Italy. Daniel Oprescu’s side conceded two early goals against France in the previous match through  Loum Tchaouna and Martin Adeline before pulling one back through Adrei Coubis eight minutes from time, it proved to be just a consolation goal.
