England, led by Jude Bellingham, secured their place in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Slovakia after extra time. The Three Lions, tipped as favourites, were on the brink of elimination before a late resurgence turned the tide.

A tough start

England looked lethargic in the first half and went into the break trailing 1-0, thanks to an Ivan Schranz goal in the 25th minute. Slovakia capitalised on numerous defensive errors from the English side, particularly Kyle Walker and Marc Guéhi.

The Three Lions’ resurgence

In the second half, England intensified their efforts, creating several chances, including a header from Harry Kane and a shot from Declan Rice that hit the post. Despite a disallowed goal for Phil Foden due to offside, the English team continued to push forward.

Bellingham, the saviour

The turning point came in the 95th minute when Jude Bellingham equalised with a spectacular overhead kick, forcing extra time. Shortly after the restart, Harry Kane secured the win with a goal in the 91st minute, sealing the 2-1 victory.

Next challenge: Switzerland

The Three Lions will face Switzerland in the quarter-finals on 6 July in Düsseldorf. England manager Gareth Southgate hopes his team will improve their performance as they continue their quest for the long-awaited title.

This hard-fought victory demonstrates the resilience of the England squad, driven by outstanding performances from young talents like Jude Bellingham. Fans can look forward to a continuation of this positive momentum in the upcoming match against Switzerland.
