Downpour in Frankfurt

The rain is teeming down inside the stadium but it doesn't prevent Strelec from whacking a left-footed drive at goal. Niță blocks.

61'

Romania pressure

Răzvan Marin gets the ball into feet just outside the box before spanking a a shot at the target which Dúbravka parries out. Romania come again with Drăguş, whose effort from the left hits the net post behind the goal. Some fans thought that had gone in.

Half-time

Half-time: Slovakia 1-1 Romania

A fine game of football in Frankfurt as the teams go in level at the break. Ondrej Duda's tidy header put Slovakia ahead, before Răzvan Marin equalised from the spot for Romania. Both sides are going through as things stand.

Penalty Romania

Hancko dumps Hagi to the floor inside the area and the Slovak will be booked. A VAR check results in a penalty. The question was whether the foul was inside or outside the box.

33'

Rațiu with the shot

Defender Rațiu paces forward before pounding a shot at the target which Dúbravka fields with relative ease.

25'

Slovakia lead

A super, flight cross from Kucka lands perfectly for Duda, who heads back across the goalkeeper for a very tidy goal.

Ondrej Duda

GOAL!

1:0

22'

Almost Haraslín

Haraslín's free kick from the left zips across the face of goal, misses all comers, and drops agonisingly wide of the far post.

Top entertainment

A draw may suit both of these teams in terms of qualification for the knockout stages, but that hasn't resulted in Slovakia and Romania holding back. It's been an exciting end-to-end battle thus far.

13'

Marin sighter

Răzvan Marin snaps a set piece not all that far wide of the near post. Dúbravka had that covered.

10'

Back the other end

Romania head straight up the other end with Rațiu slamming a shot at the target form the left which Dúbravka pushes out. Hagi smashes the follow up over the bar.

Slovakia chance

A Slovakia set piece lands at the feet of Hancko, who blasts over the crossbar.

Stanciu wary

Romania captain Stanciu makes a crucial headed intervention to break up a Slovakia attack inside the area. Huge cheers from the fans in yellow behind the goal.

Huge noise

Both sets of supporters are making a tremendous racket inside the Deutsche Bank Park. Tremendous atmosphere in Frankfurt.

Peeeeep!

Slovakia get us underway ...

Kick-off!

Anthems time!

Both sets of players line up for the national anthems.

Slovakia hoping for double

Slovakia are aiming to emulate their feat of reaching the Round of 16 back in EURO 2016, the last and only other time they advanced to the knockout stages of the tournament.

Hagi family represented

Today's Romania line-up features Ianis Hagi, son of the nation's all-time joint-top scorer Gheorghe. Hagi Junior, who spent last season on loan at Spanish side Alavés from parent club Rangers, is set to win his 38th senior cap.

More on those teams

Hertha Berlin's Peter Pekarík is in to make his 10th appearance at a European Championship finals - a new high for Slovakia. Romania, meanwhile, make two changes to the side that lost to Belgium on Matchday 2, with Hagi and Coman in for Man and Mihăilă.

Slovakia starting XI

Dúbravka - Pekarík, Vavro, Škriniar (c), Hancko - Kucka, Lobotka, Duda - Schranz, Strelec, Haraslín

Romania starting XI

Niță - Rațiu, Drăguşin, Burcă, Bancu - M. Marin - Hagi, R. Marin, Stanciu (c), Coman - Drăguş

Possible last-16 opponents

The Group E winner will face third in Group C or D (Slovenia or the Netherlands). The runner-up will go up against France. If third is ranked highly enough to progress, that team will take on England.

Who's through?

Spain, Germany, Denmark, Portugal, France, Austria, England, Switzerland and Italy have made it through to the last 16. The remaining seven spots will be decided later today, with up to three progressing from Group E.

Watch: The Frankfurt Arena experience

The home of Die Adler and also the occasional NFL fixture, the Frankfurt Arena is the perfect venue for high-stakes clashes like this one.

Bundesliga representatives

Romania have no current players plying their trade in either the Bundesliga or Bundesliga 2. However, Slovakia can call on Matúš Bero (Bochum), László Bénes (Hamburg) and Peter Pekarík (Hertha Berlin).

Historic matchday 3 in group E

For the first time ever at the Euros, four sides go into the third matchday of the tournament on the same number of points. Romania, the group leaders, could go through as winners if they beat Slovakia and maintain their superior goals for record over Belgium, who are second in place. Roberto Martinez's side have their work cut out for them against Ukraine, but will take confidence from their 2-0 win against Romania. Ultimately, whoever wins will qualify and will also progress as group winners depending on the outcomes elsewhere. Should there be draws in both the group E games, goal difference will send Romania and Belgium through, with Slovakia awaiting their fate in third place and a group-stage elimination for Ukraine.
