In the semi-final match on July 11, England rallied to defeat the Netherlands 2-1 and earn a spot in the Euro 2024 championship game.

The first half of the tҺrilling Euro 2024 semi-final between England and the Netherlands was observed by spectators. With a great situation created by Xavi Simons in the seventh minute, the Netherlands rallied. He scored the goal by snatching the ball himself and finishing forcefully from outside the penalty area.

England charged forward at once. This time, they had clearly changed, and they could аttаck with strength and effectiveness. In the eighteenth minute, the “Three Lions” likewise promptly levelled the score. Denzel Dumfries kicked Harry Kane in the penalty area, resulting in a penalty.

The attacker for Bayern Munich also scored well at the 11-meter mark, bringing the score to 1-1. Coach Southgate’s team felt more confident after the equaliser. They consistently put pressure on others, and new chances present themselves.

Phil Foden is the most well-known player among them. At least three of his shots caused chaos in the Dutch goal. Defensor Dumfries was able to come back and block in the 23rd minute after Foden successfully dribbled the ball in a small area and ended defeating custodian Verbruggen.

The striker for Man City curled the ball dangerously and struck the post in the 32nd minute. The Netherlands had another opportunity prior to that, as Dumfries’ header struck the crossbar.

The two sides played more conservatively in the second half. As a result, there are also less hazardous circumstances. The Netherlands had high expectations for high ball situations, and Van Dijk came close to achieving them, but Pickford blocked his shot.

In the closing minutes, England increased their pressure. When Saka scored against the Netherlands in the 79th minute, they sent a strong warning, but the goal went unrecognised because Walker had already committed an offside mistake.

Then manager Gareth Southgate made a daring substitution choice. He pulled out of the game, as did Phil Foden and Harry Kane. When Ollie Watkins and Cole Palmer were on the pitch together, this strategy worked well.

In the ninety-first minute, Palmer found the ball and Watkins turned to finish at a diagonal angle, giving the “Three Lions” a 2-1 victory.

With this win, England advances to the Euro final twice in a row. The Spanish team will be their rivals.
