The first cycle of group-stage contests in the European Championship concluded on Tuesday with two Group F games played in France.
At Bordeaux:
Adam Szalai (62') and Zoltan Steiber (87') each scored a goal as Hungary blanked Austria 2-0. In the photo above, we see the Hungarian goal keeper Gabor Kiraly (who, at age 40, became the oldest player ever to participate in a European Championship contest) pushing his teammates away from the Austrians' Marko Amautovic as they argue.

At Saint-Etienne:
Birkir Bjarnason's equalizer in the 50th minute lifted Iceland to a 1-1 draw with Portugal in their first game ever in a major tournament. Nani scored for the Portuguese in the 31st minute. That's ol' Birkir celebrating after scoring his game-tying tally.
