A key match in the knockout rounds of the European Championship ended not long ago, and the favourites England almost overturned, and they won 2-1 against Slovakia after 30 minutes of extra time, and reached the quarter-finals without danger, becoming the third team to qualify, and retaining their hopes of winning the title!

Among the 24 teams participating in the European Championship, England ranked first among all teams with a total value of 1.52 billion euros. The Three Lions, which bring together the elite of various Premier League giants, have naturally become the favorites to win the championship. In addition, the England team successfully won the first place in the group, avoiding a number of strong opponents such as Germany, Portugal, and France in advance, so many fans predict that the England team should successfully enter the final and once again attack the Delaunay Cup!

England's opponent is the upset Slovakia team, a little-known small team that defeated the world's No. 3 Belgium 1-0 in the group stage, so it will not be so easy for England to beat them, and the scene of the game also confirmed this!

Relying on sharp counterattacks, the Slovak team created threats one after another after the opening, in the 24th minute, the Slovak backfield long pass launched an attack, Treleec took the ball and cleverly plugged it to his teammates who inserted it behind, Schlanz calmly pushed the goal with his right foot in the face of a single opportunity, 1-0! Slovakia were the first to break the deadlock and take the lead!

Not to be outdone, England launched a frantic comeback, but they couldn't find a good way to find the back of the net against Slovakia's tight defence, and at half-time, England returned to the dressing room with a score of 0-1. In the 50th minute, Foden scored a goal for England, but the first goal was disallowed for offside.

England striker Harry Kane and midfielder Declan Rice also looked for chances in subsequent games, but both missed the goal. As the clock ticked by, Bellingham stepped up just when everyone thought England were about to pull off the game and miss out on the European Championship again. In the 5th minute of stoppage time, Walker threw the ball into the penalty area with a strong hand, Guehi's header rubbed back, and Bellingham, who received the ball in the middle, saw the incoming ball and sent the ball into the net with a wonderful barb, 1-1! England equalized in the last minute! The first extra-time match of this European Championship was born!

Only 1 minute into extra time, England used a set-piece opportunity to create a killing chance, although Eze's shot from outside the penalty area was not on target, but the ball flew right in front of Toney, who was outflanked in the penalty area, he calmly crossed to the back point, and the follow-up Kane rushed to the top to complete the goal, 2-1! England successfully reversed the score! Perhaps it was too much energy in regulation time, and Slovakia, who were behind the scoreline, did not score the equaliser like England. In the end, England defeated Slovakia 2-1 and got a ticket to the last 8!

According to the schedule, in the next quarterfinals, England will face the Swiss team that defeated the Italian team to advance.
