Russia top Finland, France win and Ronaldo makes history

With a slick one-two and a beautiful curling shot, Aleksei Miranchuk finally gave Russia something to smile about at Euro 2020. The left-footed playmaker produced the one moment of class in a chaotic game on Wednesday to give Russia a 1-0 win over Finland and their first points.

It blows open the section after Russia, one of nine participating nations at the Euro playing matches at home, had lost 3-0 to Belgium in their opening game at the weekend.

Finland, making their debut at a major international tournament, had beaten Denmark 1-0 in Copenhagen on Saturday, a game completely overshadowed by Eriksen's cardiac arrest.

Here it was Russia's Fernandes, the Brazilianborn

CSKA Moscow rightback, who provided an injury scare. The 30-year-old went up for a high ball in the Finland box in the first half and came down awkwardly, the back of his neck taking the full force of the landing.

He needed to be stabilised and was stretchered off before being taken to hospital. The Russian team's Twitter feed said he was undergoing tests for a suspected spinal injury. Russia went on to win the game without Fernandes, as Miranchuk turned on the edge of the box and played a one-two with skipper Artem Dzyuba before sending a glorious left-foot shot into the top corner of the net.

A 20th-minute Mats Hummels own goal proved enough for 2018 World Cup winners France to beat 2014 World Cup winners Germany 1-0 in a blockbuster Group 'F' match in Munich. The experienced defender was attempting to stop Lucas Hernandez's cross from reaching France forward Kylian Mbappe when he diverted the ball into his own net in the 20th minute.
