In the knockout stage, extra time and a penalty shoot-out were used to decide the winners if necessary.[3] As with every tournament since UEFA Euro 1984, there was no third-place match.
UEFA set out the following schedule for the round of 16:[3]
Match 1: Runners-up Group A vs Runners-up Group C
Match 2: Winners Group D vs 3rd Place Group B/E/F
Match 3: Winners Group B vs 3rd Place Group A/C/D
Match 4: Winners Group F vs Runners-up Group E
Match 5: Winners Group C vs 3rd Place Group A/B/F
Match 6: Winners Group E vs Runners-up Group D
Match 7: Winners Group A vs 3rd Place Group C/D/E
Match 8: Runners-up Group B vs Runners-up Group F
Combinations of matches in the Round of 16
The specific match-ups involving the third-placed teams depended on which four third-placed teams qualified for the round of 16:[3]

The top two placed teams from each of the six groups, plus the four best-placed third teams, qualified for the knockout stage.[3]
Assistant referees:[7] Paweł Sokolnicki (Poland)
Tomasz Listkiewicz (Poland)
Fourth official: Björn Kuipers (Netherlands)
Additional assistant referees: Paweł Raczkowski (Poland)
Tomasz Musiał (Poland)
Reserve assistant referee: Erwin Zeinstra (Netherlands)
The match has been described as one of England's worst defeats ever, and led to England manager Roy Hodgson resigning in disgrace after the final whistle.[26] Former footballer and Talksport presenter Stan Collymore, who was commentating on the game, panned the England team, reserving special criticism for goalkeeper Joe Hart and captain Wayne Rooney.[27] Former England international and BBC Sport pundit Alan Shearer described it as the worst performance he had ever seen from an England team.[28] The defeat was called England's most shocking since losing 1–0 to the United States in the 1950 World Cup.[29]
The English team was viciously mocked by the press who described it as a "second exit from Europe", as the United Kingdom had voted to leave the European Union just four days earlier. As a result, the match was seen as a national embarrassment.[30]
