England invaded Switzerland’s half early on. The Three Lions created great pressure, making it difficult for their opponents to develop the ball.

Saka and Bellingham both tried their best to use their speed and technique to penetrate the opponent’s defense. Meanwhile, Mainoo also actively shot from long range. But against the well-organized Swiss defense, the “Three Lions” could not make a difference in the first half.

In the second half, Switzerland played with more determination and boldly pushed up their formation. There were times when Switzerland even put pressure on England. Then, in the 75th minute, Embolo scored the opening goal for coach Yakin’s team.

At this point, England woke up. Just 5 minutes after conceding the goal, the “Three Lions” equalized. Saka played the hero with a very dangerous shot from outside the penalty area.

In the extra time, England pressed the field in the first extra time. But the solidity of goalkeeper Sommer made the “Three Lions” helpless.

In the second extra time, Switzerland was the dominant team. But luck was not on their side when the ball just found the goal and the opportunity was blocked by goalkeeper Pickford.

The two teams could not decide the winner, so they had to go to a penalty shootout. In this nerve-wracking “shootout”, England showed more courage when they successfully executed all 5 shots. Meanwhile, on the Swiss side, Akanji failed to score because he could not defeat Pickford.

In the end, Switzerland lost 3-5 in the penalty shootout, and from then on, they had to watch Southgate’s team advance to the semi-finals.
