On July 1st, in the Round of 16 of the European Championship, Slovakia lost 1-2 to England after extra time, ending their campaign at the tournament. After the match, Schranz, who scored for Slovakia, expressed his deep regret.
Schranz commented after the game: “I scored three goals in this Euro, but what does that matter? It was an amazing match, we fought until the very end, but we still lost. We’re not angry about losing the lead; we accept being knocked out. But we might regret this loss for the rest of our lives, maybe we’ll never have such a great opportunity to create history again.”
Slovakia advanced to the knockout stage with one win, one draw, and one loss, accumulating four points and finishing third in their group. In the Round of 16 encounter against England, Schranz gave Slovakia the lead, only for Bellingham’s last-gasp equalizer to force extra time, where Kane’s header secured a 2-1 comeback victory for England.
