On Wednesday, July 10, the semi-final match of Euro 2024 took place, in which England faced Holland. The teams showed an equal game, but the English were stronger and got the opportunity to win the European Championship for the first time in their history.
The Netherlands opened the scoring with a fine strike from Xavi Simons in the seventh minute, which he placed into the top left corner of the net with remarkable precision. However, England were not long in responding. Harry Kane converted a penalty in the 18th minute to restore parity after the Netherlands’ Denzel Dumfries committed a foul in the penalty area.
The second half began with active attacks from both teams. Despite the English having significant possession of the ball, the Dutch also created dangerous moments. In one of the episodes, Denzel Dumfries hit the crossbar, and Bukayo Saka scored a goal, which, however, was cancelled due to offside.
The score was only changed in the 90+1 minute. Thanks to a precise strike by Ollie Watkins, who coolly sent the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal after a great pass from Cole Palmer, the Englishmen received a ticket to the final.
Earlier, “Cursor” wrote that Thomas Müller announced the end of his career in the German national team. The Germans left Euro 2024 already at the quarter-final stage.
