England coach Roy Hodgson's made six changes, including striker captain Wayne Rooney, from the win against Wales in a game with Slovakia. England still had the better chances to win, but Slovakia was good in defence.
England had the better chances, with Slovakia keeper Matus Kozacik busy well when Jamie Vardy broke clear in the first half, as well as blocking crucially from Nathaniel Clyne after the break.
Rooney came on for the Jack Wilshere after 55 minutes, but Slovakia made no mistakes in their defence.
Dele Alli had also a shot kicked off the line by Martin Skrtel just seconds after coming on as a substitute on the hour.
Man of the match - Eric Dier (England)
Made five shots, 102 passes and 115 touches during the game.
In a group B England have finished behind Wales. So England now travel to Nice where next Monday they face the team that finishes second in Group F. It can be either Hungary, Portugal, Iceland or Austria.
Slovakia will have to wait: if they finish as one of the four best third-placed teams, they will progress to the last 16.
