(VIDEO) Euro 2024 Highlights: England vs Slovakia
England defeated Slovakia 2-1 with a sensational technical move by Jude Bellingham, who rescued the English in the last breath of the match to take it to extra time, where Harry Kane completed the comeback with a goal.
The first half reflected what England has shown throughout the entire EURO: a game with few ideas that proved costly in the first half. Despite creating numerous opportunities, they couldn't convert them, which Slovakia capitalized on, resisting well and finding the reward in the 25th minute with a goal by Ivan Schranz that settled the first half.
In the second half, England kept trying, but it wasn't until the 95th minute when Jude Bellingham reversed a situation that seemed decided with a historic bicycle kick, a play that will be etched in EURO history, to equalize the score. At the start of the first extra time, Harry Kane scored the winning goal for England to secure their place in the next round of the tournament, thus confirming their status as favorites, although doubts remain about the performance under Gareth Southgate's management.
