FRANCE have reached the knockout stages of Euro 2024 only as runners up after Austria stunned the Netherlands to finish top.
Ralf Rangnick’s side go through as group winners on six points ahead of Les Bleus.
While Robert Lewandowski’s Poland suffered an early exit from the competition following their 3-1 loss to third-placed Austria.
Group D final table below
What happens if teams are tied on points?
If two or more teams are level on points at the end of the group stage, a head-to-head record is used as the first tie-breaker to determine their final rankings.
This is followed by goal difference and goals scored in the matches between the teams in question, followed by most wins and then disciplinary records across the group as a whole.
Should two teams be tied on points, goals scored and conceded at the end of the group stage – with no tiebreaker separating them from any other team – a penalty shootout will dictate their final placings.
