    Finland will be kicking themselves. This was a massive opportunity wasted because Russia are not a good side, they're very average. I can't see Finland beating Belgium.

    Who are the favourites to win Euro 2020 after the first round of games?

    According to statisticians Gracenote, Belgium are estimated to have 16% chance of winning the European Championship and are favourites ahead of France.

    England are third favourites to win their first major tournament since 1966. England overtook Spain in the ranking after the first matches. Gracenote gives England 14% chance of winning the trophy. England versus Belgium is the most likely final, says Gracenote.

    "There are already nine teams with at least 88% chance of making it to the second phase," said Simon Gleave, head of sports analysis, Nielsen's Gracenote."

    FT: Finland 0-1 Russia

    Russia captain Artem Dzyuba won 11 aerial challenges - only Patrice Evra (17 for France v Albania in 2016) and Kolbeinn Sigthorsson (17 for Iceland v Portugal in 2016) have won more in a single European Championship match since the 1980 tournament.

    It certainly changes the group now. Three points for Russia and Belgium with their three points play tomorrow. Finland have their three points as well so there's still a lot to play for for Finland. And Russia.

    In the end it didn't matter, but should have put this one away really.

  7. Will Wales go top?published at 16:02 British Summer Time 16 June 2021

    Turkey v Wales (17:00 BST)

    Up next, Wales take on Turkey where a win for Wales will put them top of Group A.

    That game kicks off at 17:00 BST but build up is under way here and 91Èȱ¬ One and 91Èȱ¬ iPlayer.

    It's very important for Finland to take the lead when they go into games. I think when teams score a goal against them and start to sit back, Finland don't have a plan B. They are built on counter attack football.

    .

    Finland would have reached the next round with a win. Their third and final group game is against world number one ranked Belgium back in St Petersburg next Monday (20:00 BST).

    All over! Russia have their first win of Euro 2020 thanks to that classy finish by Aleksey Miranchuk just before half time.

    They join Finland and Belgium, who face Denmark tomorrow, on three points.

    Zhemaletdinov has got to hit the target. He does everything right, he dropped the shoulder, found a nice bit of space, then he's got to score or find the target at least.

    The game has got very, very scrappy.

    Rifat Zhemaletdinov fires wide as Russia go close to wrapping this up.

    Just a couple of minutes remaining...

    Finland just need to pump this ball forward. You can see how many players are up there and they are still reluctant. It just needs a long ball down the middle for me.

    No-one has touched the ball more times than Dimitri Barinov. The Lokomotiv Moscow midfielder, who is making his seventh appearance for his country, has 85 touches as it stands.

    We are into the first of five minutes added on and time is really against Finland now.

    Defender Paulus Arajuuri is being sent up as makeshift forward.

    The Armchair Football Fan: Really interesting first 20 or so in this game. And then...yeah. The runner up in this group is not to be feared.

    He just couldn't get above it and direct it on target, or create any kind of power. He's trying to reach it, but the header is high, it's well over the bar.

    Now Daniel O'Shaughnessy is booked as he fouls Alexander Sobolev, who is going to need some treatment here.

    It's an agonising miss. Too high for him, he can't get over the top of the ball. He does his best.

    There's not been a lot of football on show in this game. Since Russia went in front the final whistle couldn't come quick enough. They haven't really played any football in this half.
