In the early morning of July 1, Beijing time, the knockout round of the European Cup ended two more battles. The two favourites, England and Spain, were unbeatable in extra time with a 2-1 comeback win over Slovakia to advance to the next round. The Spanish team defeated the dark horse Georgia team 4-1, showing the strength of the favorite!

England have been criticised for their performances at this tournament, winning just one game in the group stage, and would not have been able to top the group had it not been for the limited quality of their opponents. In the first round of the knockout round, England still did not find their form, facing Slovakia, their goal was the first to be conceded early, and they fell into a disadvantageous situation of falling behind 0-1.

As the game time passed little by little, when everyone thought that England would be upset and become the laughing stock of world football, Bellingham used a wonderful barb to help England complete the equalizer and drag the game into extra time. In extra time, England completely controlled the game, and Kane turned the score to 2-1 with a brilliant header! In the end, England got through the danger and did not fall out early in the round of 16.

The Spanish team, which appeared next, was also the first to concede a goal. Georgia, who were playing in the European Championship for the first time, relied on a sharp counterattack to cause Spain to own a goal and take a 1-0 lead. But what makes a miracle a miracle is that it doesn't happen that easily. The favourites did not give their opponents another chance in the rest of the game, as they equalised just before half-time through Rodri.

After 45 minutes of attrition in the first half, the Georgian team's weak defense line was no longer able to resist the indiscriminate bombardment of the Spanish team. Ruiz, Williams and Olmo scored successively, and the Spanish team, which finally blossomed more points, defeated Georgia 4-1 and advanced to the quarterfinals. Georgia were eliminated from the tournament, but they still made history, reaching the round of 16 in their first European Championship appearance, and the future of this team is worth looking forward to!

According to the schedule, in the next quarterfinals, Spain will face the host Germany, while England's opponent is Switzerland, who eliminated Italy.
