Ukraine has become the first team to be eliminated from the European Championship after the 0-0 draw between Germany and Poland.

Germany and Poland played to a 0-0 draw Thursday at the European Championship.
The Group C match, the first to end in a scoreless draw at Euro 2016, had a glaring miss as its key moment. Poland forward Arkadiusz Milik miscued a header falling to his knees deep in Germany's goalmouth, and the ball bounced just wide of Manuel Neuer's right-hand post.
Neither team could sustain attacking pressure, and a point suits both after their opening wins.
Germany was playing at Stade de France for the first time since the Nov. 13 attacks during its friendly against the French national team.

French authorities say police made only six arrests on Thursday in Lille on a much calmer day in the northern French city.
The arrests were for throwing a smoke bomb at a police officer and for violence against a security guard in the Lille fan zone where close to 10,000 people gathered to watch a broadcast from nearby Lens of England beating Wales 2-1.
On Wednesday, when there was sporadic violence in the city and tear gas was occasionally deployed, local authorities said police made 37 arrests and detained 15 people in custody.

Germany and Poland are tied at 0-0 at halftime at the European Championship.
Neither goalkeeper was troubled in a largely incident-free first 45 minutes in Group C.
Germany forward Mario Goetze flicked a header over the crossbar in the fourth minute, and Toni Kroos hooked a shot wide in the 16th.
Both teams won their first games at Euro 2016 and earning a fourth point would almost ensure advancing to the round of 16.

French authorities combed through hundreds of hours of video footage to build a case against three Russian fans convicted of hooliganism.
Jean-Marie Salanova, director of public security for Marseille, says investigators worked around the clock to see if Russian suspects encountered during a raid on a hotel Sunday had taken part in disorder around the game between England and Russia a day before.
He says they watched "more than 200 hours of video," adding that it "was 48 hours of work, non-stop, for around 20 investigators" before 43 fans from the hotel were detained Tuesday while traveling to Russia's next game.
Besides the three fans who were convicted, 20 more face deportation.
Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin says the hotel raid followed a tip-off from "our friends in Russian police" that hooligans were staying there.

Each of the 15 games at the European Championship has produced at least one goal.
That record, following an exhilarating start to the 2014 World Cup, indicates tournaments are shedding their old reputation of teams being too cautious at the start.
Still, there is a long way to go to beat the goal-scoring feats of Euro 2012.
Four years ago, in Poland and Ukraine, the first 27 games in a 31-match program all delivered the goal-scoring goods.
The first scoreless game was Italy's penalty shootout victory over England in Kiev, the final quarterfinal match.
The goal-free games came quicker at previous European Championships. In 2008, the fifth game - France-Romania - was scoreless. Four years previously, the first 0-0 game came as soon as the third match when Switzerland played Croatia.

French officials say 20 Russian men will be deported for their role in violence at the European Championship.
Stephane Bouillon, prefect for the region including Marseille, where the violence occurred last week, says the unnamed men will be deported Monday.
They are suspected of "participation in skirmishes linked to the England-Russia game on June 11 in Marseille."
They are currently being held in a detention center.
The men were among 43 Russian fans detained Tuesday after their bus was stopped by French police near the town of Mandelieu in a check for hooligans.

French authorities say scattered unrest in Lille "was provoked essentially by British citizens in a drunken state, obliging police to intervene to disperse them."
The statement says there were no fights of note between English and Russian fans, as had been feared.
The statement says police used tear gas on two occasions to disperse groups of several hundred people. However, The Associated Press also saw police spraying gas in other incidents in Lille on Wednesday.
Police detained 37 people. Of those, only 15 were kept in custody. Most of the others were for public drunkenness.

Two supporters watching France play Albania in a fan zone in the city of Lyon have been slightly injured following a scuffle involving fans from three nations.
Local authorities in Lyon said the altercation broke up Wednesday evening after French supporters started to sing France's national anthem, "La Marseillaise." They were confronted by a group of Albania fans, leading police to intervene inside the fan zone.
Privately-hired security agents are normally in charge of security inside the fan zones at Euro 2016, with French authorities dealing with it outside.
Lyon prefecture's press office said the two fans injured are a Belgian and a Frenchman, "who sustained wounds to their thigh and bottom." Police did not find the weapon used by the attacker.
In a separate incident, police arrested a supporter who smuggled a flare inside the open-air space set up in downtown Lyon.
The fan zone will be open on Thursday but the Lyon prefect will meet with the company in charge of its security and UEFA officials to strengthen safety.

It's beer for breakfast for England's seemingly indefatigable fans, who are downing pints in the rain in Lille before the team's match against Wales in nearby Lens later Thursday.
A boisterous crowd a couple of hundred people have picked up where they left off, singing "England 'til I die" and other songs at the "The 3 Brewers" pub opposite the Flanders train station.
But unlike the previous night, when French riot police charged groups of fans and sprayed tear gas, the mood is good-humored.
Long lines have formed in the station of fans waiting to board trains to the match.

UEFA says England's participation in the European Championship is under no immediate threat despite a fresh outbreak of fan violence.
UEFA said after disorder in Marseille last week that England - along with Russia - faced potential disqualification if there was more violence away from stadiums.
In Lille on Wednesday, French police used tear gas to disperse rampaging England fans. It was the fourth time England fans have been involved in violent incidents since the start of the tournament.
UEFA says it "regrets the skirmishes which occurred in Lille last night. Police forces made several arrests and were quick to restore order and keep the situation under control."
But there are no plans for an emergency meeting of UEFA's executive committee to discuss any further warning or sanctions.
