In the early morning of July 1, Beijing time, the 1/8 finals of the European Cup, England VS Slovakia. Bellingham equalized in 95 minutes, Kane scored a goal in the opening 52 seconds of extra time, and England staged a comeback to play the most exciting script of this European Championship so far, knocking out their opponents 2-1 to reach the last eight and facing Switzerland in the quarter-finals.

In the group stage of the European Championship, England qualified as the top of Group C, while Slovakia finished third in Group E. In this 1/8 final, England is still a quartet of Saka, Kane, Foden and Bellingham, with Maynou and Rice partnering in the back.

The Czech left flank Haraslin was extremely capable of assault, and Walker was penetrated several times. In the first 16 minutes, Guehi, Mainou and Bellingham all received yellow cards.

In the 25th minute, Slovakia broke the deadlock:

Slovakia made a long pass on the right side of the backfield, after a header battle, Strelec sent a direct pass, Schlanz stabbed a right-footed shot under the defense of Guehi, and Slovakia led 1-0!

In this European Cup, Schlatz scored 3 goals! He also became the first Slovak player to score in the knockout rounds of the European Championship.

England, which was behind the score, was still unhurried, passing the ball slowly, playing walking football, and boos rang out from the scene. England, ranked 5th in the world, was suppressed by Slovakia, ranked 45th in the world, and could not come up with any countermeasures, and the fans were dissatisfied for a reason.

Bellingham still couldn't find the best position, Kane played too much Sven, and the 19-year-old Mainou was England's only bright spot: proactive playmaking and constantly breaking through long-range shots to find opportunities. In the first half, England had 0 shots on target, and the performance was extremely sluggish, and the boos at the Feltings Arena became louder and louder. For the first time since England vs Argentina at the 1986 World Cup, England had zero shots on target in the first half of a tournament.

In the 50th minute, 1 goal was scored, Kane split the ball, Kieran Trippier crossed low from the left in front of the goal, and Foden pushed it to score. However, Foden was offside and the goal was disallowed.

In the 66th minute, England made their first change, with Palmer replacing Kieran Trippier and Bukayo Saka making a cameo at left-back.

At the last moment, England stepped up their attack. In the 80th minute, Rice's 30-meter right-footed long-range shot popped up at the neutral post! England missed their best chance to equalise.

England continued to intensify their onslaught and in the 94th minute, Ivan Toney replaced Foden. In the 95th minute, England equalized:

England's cross from the right, Guehi's header was ferried, Bellingham scored with a golden hook upside down, 1-1!

Bellingham's shocking barb renewed England's life, and the game dragged into extra time. In the 91st minute, England overtook the score:

Eze's volley from outside the penalty area was flawed, Ivan Toney crossed the ball with the momentum, Kane scored with a header, England 2-1! Kane scored the sixth goal of his European Championship career.

Ivan Toney for Foden became a turning point for England. Palmer, Eze, Ivan Toney are the new forces that breathe life into England's attack. After the 2-1 comeback, England changed to 532, and then replaced Kane and Bellingham in the second half, and played 541 instead, intending to hold the last 15 minutes.

2-1, England thrillingly advanced to the last 8. Looking back at the 120-minute battle, England was tough enough: Bellingham saved a life-saving hook in 94 minutes and 33 seconds, Kane blitzed in the opening 52 seconds of extra time, and the Three Lions, who had a lot of problems, won too exciting.
