England booked their ticket to the Euro 2024 quarterfinals with a heart-stopping comeback victory over Slovakia on Sunday night. Despite falling behind in the first half, England rallied in extra time to secure a dramatic 2-1 win.
Slovakia took a surprise lead in the 25th minute through Ivan Schranz, putting England under pressure. The Three Lions struggled to find an equalizer in regular time, but their persistence paid off in dramatic fashion.
Just as extra time seemed destined for a period of anxious tension, Jude Bellingham came to the rescue. In the 95th minute, the young midfielder produced a stunning overhead kick to level the score and send the England faithful into a frenzy.
England capitalized on the momentum shift with Harry Kane heading home the winner just minutes into extra time (91st minute). This dramatic turnaround secured their place in the quarterfinals, where they will face Switzerland. The Swiss team also pulled off an upset, defeating Italy to advance.
