Ukraine knocked out of Euro 2016

Germany's 0-0 draw with Poland on Thursday evening leaves Mykhaylo Fomenko's side stranded at the bottom of Group C following their 2-0 defeat to Northern Ireland.

That means the eastern European nation cannot overtake Northern Ireland regardless of their results on matchday three.

Germany lead Group C on goal difference, with Poland level with the world champions on four points and Northern Ireland, on three, also still in with a chance of topping the table.
