Germany's Jonathan Burkardt's goal was initially disallowed.

Netherlands secured their top position in their group with a 2-1 victory over Serbia, thanks to Joshua Zirkzee's goal. Wales suffered a loss against Denmark, with Rasmus Hojlund scoring the only goal for Denmark in the 75th minute. Israel honored the victims of the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, by wearing black armbands and refusing to shake hands with the Irish team.
