England 1-1 Switzerland (aet, 5-3 pens): Three Lions rewrite penalty history
Gareth Southgate marked his 100th game in charge of England with a win, in the end.
Trent Alexander-Arnold scored the decisive spot-kick following a 1-1 draw, having seen Jordan Pickford save Manuel Akanji's first penalty for the Swiss.
Pickford's stop was his fourth saved from 14 penalties he has faced in shoot-outs at major tournaments, further proving why he is indispensable within this England team.
Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka and Ivan Toney all scored their penalties before Alexander-Arnold's winner, showing nerves of steel from 15 yards.바카라 웹사이트
It was just the second time, in their 10th shoot-out at a major tournament, that England scored every바카라 웹사이트one of their penalties (5/5), also doing so against Spain at Euro 1996 (4/4).
While Southgate has바카라 웹사이트his critics, the Three Lions have now reached the semi-finals in consecutive European Championships for the first time.바카라 웹사이트
Since the group stage was introduced in 1980, the Three Lions had only got to that stage once before the appointment of Southgate, doing so in 1996바카라 웹사이트with Southgate playing in every England game at their home tournament.
But England's lack of attacking threat was concerning once again, with Saka's 80th-minute equaliser their first shot on target바카라 웹사이트in Dusseldorf.
Saka's 11th international goal saw him become only the third Arsenal player to score for England at the Euros, after Tony Adams in 1988 and Theo Walcott in 2012.
Failing to get the job done in normal time has been a regular theme for the Three Lions at the European Championships.바카라 웹사이트
Since Euro바카라 웹사이트96, England have played 11 knockout matches at the Euros바카라 웹사이트and eight of those have gone to extra-time, including the last four in a row.
Bellingham, England's hero from their last-16 clash against Slovakia, almost found another goal in extra-time, only to see his effort saved by Yann Sommer.바카라 웹사이트
The Real Madrid star won his 34th cap for the Three Lions, with all of them coming while playing for non-British sides (24 with Borussia Dortmund, 10 with Real Madrid). Only David Beckham (55) and Owen Hargreaves (39) have won more England caps while playing for non-British clubs.
For Switzerland, however,바카라 웹사이트their woes in the knockout stages continued as they fell short once more.바카라 웹사이트
They have now been eliminated on all five of their major tournament quarter-final appearances: the 1934, 1938 and 1954 World Cups, and Euro바카라 웹사이트2020 and 2024.
Breel Embolo was a shining light for Murat Yakin's side, scoring his fifth goal at a major tournament for Switzerland, a tally only bettered by바카라 웹사이트Xherdan Shaqiri (10) and Josef Hugi (six).바카라 웹사이트

Their equaliser came from an unlikely source, however.바카라 웹사이트Stefan de Vrij라이브 바카라 header was his first strike for his nation바카라 웹사이트since March 2015 against Spain – nine years and 97 days ago.
The turnaround was complete six minutes later, with Cody Gakpo believing he had gone out on his own in the race for the Golden Boot, only for the goal to be credited to바카라 웹사이트Mert Muldur, who put through his own net under pressure from the Liverpool man.
It바카라 웹사이트was the first own goal the Netherlands have benefitted from at the Euros since 2004 (Jorge Andrade versus Portugal).

Arda Guler has been a shining light throughout their campaign. The 19-year-old provided his second assist of the Euros for Samet Akaydin's opener, becoming the second teenager to tee up multiple goals at this edition after Lamine Yamal (three).
There had been just two occasions on record (since 1968) of a teenager providing multiple assists at a single tournament in each of the 14 previous editions combined (Enzo Scifo in 1984, Cristiano Ronaldo in 2004).
