England - Road to the Final • EURO 2024

No longer in the top flight in Germany. They've won seven Bundesliga titles, but they are now in the second division. But tonight, it's all about Serbia and England. And here we have the anthems. That was a definite opportunity. Now, look at Trippier again, forward, and he won the header against Zivkovic. And it's out. Oh, attackers got in around the back. And the cross is a good one and Bellingham scores. England take the lead in the 13th minute. Pavlovic beaten to the ball. Beautiful cross and a wonderful finish from Jude Bellingham. Fourth goal for his country. England lead Serbia 1-0. Well, that's what the game needed. His confidence, the world of good. There's a mistake by Trent Alexander-Arnold. Mitrovic! Oh! Wow. At the interception, and in and Paul forward. Look at Kyle Walker. Fovi and Kane are with him. Kyle Walker! Forced the pace of the goal. As you know, it was a bit of a nothing ball in the end. It was neither a short or a cross. Pitches well. Oh, and here's Mladenovic. And look at him do stones for pace. Mladenovic. Goalkeeper out of his line. Pickford. And the referee. Well, I think it's because Mitrovic has gone over the thing. It's a penalty. The referee mostly straight away knocked him out. Rice just keeps it moving back to Alexander-Arnold who wants to shoot. Straight at the goalkeeper. Zipkovic. Cross. Took a little nick. Pickford was struggling for that. It must have moved in some way or he was surprised at the way it came at him. It wouldn't be anything remotely near this or indeed the Italian League. And there it is. Oh, it's come off the crossbar. I don't know if the goalkeeper got a touch to it. But it was Harry Kane. And it didn't cross the line. I think the keeper might have got a touch on this. Great play from the right-hand side. Floats that in. Again, you think what Mitrovic would have done there. But there's the shot and Pickford with the save from Mladenovic. That's what he's capable of. Fans at that end of the ground. It's floated in. Stones. Got the clearance. That could go anywhere. Pickford thought it was coming through to him. Harry Kane headed it right and churning inside somewhere. Pavlovic with the clearance. But there you go. The full-time whistle. England begin Euro 2024. Jackie, thank you very much indeed. And welcome to Frankfurt. The home of Eintracht Frankfurt. The Waldstadion. A more casual Gareth Southgate. It's a big game for him. England win the group after the draw earlier on. If they win the match. So the pitch. Walker. That was clever. To his club team-mate. Phil Foden. Foden through. Will feel he should have brought a save at a Kasper Schmeichel. Bellingham. Now Walker. Has got there. Top of the shutdown. Kristiansen. Lost his concentration. And his man completely. Here's Kane. That's all from Victor Kristiansen. Falling asleep completely. England take the lead in the 18th minute. Harry Kane doesn't normally score in the first round of major competitions. He's sorted that one now. What a horrible moment for the Danish wing-back. Absolutely. Drives into the penalty area. And Bellingham was there with him. Ericsson. Got there ahead of Pickford. It's all very tight in there. Hoyland tried the backheel. Pickford. There was no real power in it. But England looked a bit messy. Welderson. All very tight in there. Vint. Trying to get the shot away. And it went over the top. And sat on the roof of the net. It's a corner kick though for Denmark. No luck passes. Which was no good. Hulman. With the shot. Oh what a goal. What a fantastic goal. His first ever goal for his country. And that is astonishing from Morten Hulman. Who just said he hit it. He got a total gift of possession from Harry Kane. Kane scores at one end. And has a bit of a meltdown at the other. And this is a brilliant goal. It's 1-1. 11 minutes from halftime. Keep it coming Darren. The hype that they have Denmark in their team is impressive. Anderson on the back post. Just loops over. Yeah he couldn't redirect it across the six yard box. Foden. Shoots. Over the top again. Closer than the earlier effort. It's going to be one of the players to go off. Here's Phil Foden. Foden's shot. Hit the post. And Saka follows up. England are claiming that there was a foul. Declan Rice caught. Here's Ericsson. Ericsson's shot. Nowhere near. He would have loved that on his right rather than his left. And the shot is on target. And again it stung the pan. Even though they had beaten Serbia. And now Watkins in around the back. Watkins. Good save by Schmeichel. He got out and narrowed down the angle and closed the distance with Watkins. Brilliant. Those players in. Hojbjerg is going to shoot. Pickford made the save. Mela on the follow up. And now. Mela. Declan Rice. And there is the full time whistle. The reaction of. Is that the England fan? Slovenia are aiming to make history tonight. As a first ever win against England. We'll see them qualify from the group stage of a major tournament. For the very first time. Already qualified England are aiming for the win. That would ensure top spot in the section. And they're also after an improved performance. Spreading it wide. Makars over there. Early in towards Siesko. Too high for him. It might come back to him. Freeheader. Which he doesn't make the most of. First clear chance. Again excellent Slovenian shape. Although Rice might have found a gap. Foden across. And in from Saka. But up goes the flag. But they're denied by the offside decision. It's Foden instead. And it forces the save out of Oblak. Back to Trippier. Angle favourable for a cross. Which deserved to be touched in. But Harry Kane couldn't apply the finish. And he would have backed him to do so. That header is cleared off the line. And Siesko's there again. Still head tennis. And gathered by Oblak. Although the whistler's gone for a free kick. Foden. Declan Rice. Nice interplay. But off at England's disposal. Lovely ball. Mainu. It's Harry Kane. On here for Palmer. Almost the moment for England. Right at the... He gets there. There is the full time whistle. And look at the Slovenian celebrations. Good evening everyone. Hello wherever you are watching. And over the last few majors, England have got into the habit of doing that. Two weeks have passed since they arrived at Euro 2024. Three tune-up games have provided little evidence of a team in harmony with one another. But Gareth Southgate has won as many knock-out games at major tournaments. Sending the ball out wide to his left. And that's a great opportunity from Hanska which narrowly beats the post. And the first opportunity of the... Haraslin trying to get a shot away. Blocked by Stokes. Still coming Slovenian. Ball into the box is a good one from that right side. Kucka this time, the deliverer. Has not spotted Haraslin. Speed in behind him. This is a chance for Slovakia. Didn't catch it first time. Still alive. England somehow smuggle it away. Duda. Loses the ball. And there's a challenge. Strelitz. Punched in behind. And with runners either side. And one of them has been fed. It's Schrantz! And faltering England are on the back foot again. And Ivan Schrantz has yet another goal in the European Championships. A third for the Slovakian winner. And England are behind in Gelsenkirchen. Trippier. Into Rice. Rice with the header. Goalkeeper came out. Didn't get a clean punch on it. But just enough. Cunningham has collided with a defender inside the six yard. Still going Meinu. It's Kobi Meinu for England. It's a cornerback. Break free from that. Kane. Switching it quickly. Onto Trippier. Big chance for England here. Foden is there! And he touches it home! This is the offside goal. There's always a possibility. Here's Kane. Putting Skriniar on the back foot. And then sending the ball goalwards. The deflection takes it agonizingly wide. Smarter Prague. Oh and it's given away and England are in trouble here! And it's narrowly wide and that would have been even more embarrassing than what's gone before. Blocks it. Sacker again. Rice. Shifting it. Looking for an effort. Hits the post. Comes back to Kane. It's going to go over. More agony for England. He's done everything right. Hit the target. You can see him out of his feet. Just hocks him. Nothing like this has happened for a long time. Here's the overhead kick from Bellingham! Yes! On the weekend he turned 21. Jude Bellingham has shown why he is England's favourite son. Moments before they were exiting Euro 2024 Jude Bellingham has come to Gareth Southgate and England's rescue. That was just crazy. That's the best feeling. Palmer with a free kick early in extra time. Dabravka with a punch. Eze's going to hit it. Back across the face they've got. Kane is there! Sometimes things just change in the blink of an eye. 52 seconds into extra time England have taken the lead after spending most of the match on the floor. They left back two balls on the pitch Humphreys allowed play on Lobotka has sent it down the side it's gone into that near post and crashed the side netting and the England players protesting suggesting the ref Palmer switches it Dabravka gives it to Tony it's Ivan Tony! So there it is sometimes it is darkest just before dawn Hello everyone and welcome to the Dusseldorf Arena down by the banks of the mighty River Rhine and where England will hope to finally find a little bit of flow to their game after much criticised performances in the competition so far the counter to the critics is of course that Gareth Southgate has once again led England to the quarter-finals of another Bellingham here he goes will go around the outside after all trying to beat Abisher Meunier and what a good tackle Granit Xhaka there's a way through it here though and this is Mbolo bumping into Konca just putting him off balance but that goes down as a shot on target when Pickford was ready for put in a decent cross and it was Mbolo once again with Cham lovely ball for Ndoye and Ndoye gets it across and Switzerland score Mbolo puts it in as England are in that position again they are behind and time is not on their side Burleys kept getting it Royce Xhaka having a goal well that didn't take long Bukayo Xhaka has been England's brightest spark Shaw took Wittmer away but Ezer he's pulled it Rodriguez had to go straight to Declan Royce who lines it up tipped around the post by Sommer taking on Zouba and getting it into the box now here's Bellingham the shot is blocked he has another goal and it's caught by Sommer as Switzerland come forward here's Wittmer Shaqiri it's whipping in oh it's off the post goodness me that would have been some way to win a quarterfinal leaves it for Xhaka to try and prompt maybe one last Switzerland sortie Amdouni Pickford to Parry Zouba it was made clear that the penalties would be taken at this end of and Cole Palmer goes first and saved by Jordan Pickford and Bellingham is up Sakkas here he comes and Shaqiri and Tony scores and he has Trent takes the net off England go through the team's itching to go the Netherlands five previous European Championship semi-finals just one win be calmed and then in orange flashes

complaining to the Bellingham Harry Kane eats it away by Verbruggen touch from Randers found Kane and Kane found Sakka this is Bukayo Sakka dribbling and Kane here we are it's a penalty for England Harry Kane delivers for England again ah outstanding penalty shouldn't really be surprised given his track record but the key to it is the pace and also the fact that it's all Kobi Mengu and Phil Foden has it no oh stopped on the line by Dumfries brilliant from Denzel Dumfries brilliant all round actually really slung in by Simons Dumfries flicked the top of the bar Sakka Phil Foden oh just
