20:40 – England qualifies for the semi-finals of Euro 2024 (1-1, pen: 5-3)
Like yesterday evening between Portugal and France, it took a penalty shootout to decide between Switzerland and England. Thanks to a perfect series, and a final penalty from Alexander-Arnold, the Three Lions got the better of the Nati. Pickford saved Akanji’s. Before that, the scenario had settled down at the end of the match. On a cross from Ndoye, Embolo, despite Walker’s return, had given his team the lead (0-1, 75th). Five minutes later, alone, Saka had equalized with a superb curling shot (1-1, 80th). The Nati, decidedly unfortunately, hit the crossbar at the end of extra time on a direct corner from Shaqiri. It was not the Swiss’ day, but that of the English who continue their journey to the semi-final of this Euro 2024. It will be against Turkey or the Netherlands.
