In a thrilling Round of 16 encounter at Euro 2024, England secured a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Slovakia, propelled by Jude Bellingham’s historic last-minute strike. The match, held at Cologne’s RheinEnergieStadion, saw the Three Lions overcoming a spirited Slovakian side to advance to the quarter-finals.

England, criticized for their lackluster group stage performances, appeared to struggle initially. Slovakia’s early pressure almost paid off, with Dávid Hancko and Lukáš Haraslín coming close to scoring. The deadlock was broken when Ivan Schranz finished expertly from a David Strelec pass, leaving England trailing.

 

Despite a lack of offensive thrust in the first half, England showed resilience. Phil Foden’s disallowed goal early in the second half and a missed chance from Harry Kane highlighted their growing desperation. Cole Palmer’s substitution injected some life, but Slovakia’s defense remained steadfast.

As the clock ticked down, England’s hope seemed to fade, only for Bellingham to ignite a lifeline with a stunning acrobatic goal in stoppage time, converting Marc Guéhi’s flick from Kyle Walker’s long throw. This remarkable equalizer, England’s first shot on target, forced the game into extra time.

Just 52 seconds into extra time, Kane capitalized on Ivan Toney’s assist, heading home from close range to complete the comeback. England’s morale soared as they secured their place in the quarter-finals, setting up a clash with Switzerland in Düsseldorf.

Spain 4-1 Georgia: La Roja Dominate to Reach Last Eight

Spain continued their impressive Euro 2024 campaign with a commanding 4-1 victory over Georgia in Cologne, maintaining their perfect record and booking a quarter-final date with hosts Germany.

Despite Georgia’s early resilience and a surprising own goal from Robin Le Normand that gave them the lead, Spain dominated possession and created numerous chances. Otar Kakabadze’s cross leading to the own goal was a brief moment of joy for Georgia.

Spain’s persistence paid off when Rodri equalized with a brilliant strike from the edge of the box before halftime. In the second half, Fabián Ruiz’s header, following a saved free-kick by the brilliant Giorgi Mamardashvili, put Spain ahead. Nico Williams and Dani Olmo added further goals, sealing a comfortable victory.

Georgia, despite their spirited effort and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s audacious attempts, could not contain Spain’s fluid attack. Spain’s relentless pressure and tactical superiority ensured their progression, with Olmo’s cool finish putting the game beyond doubt.

Both matches underscored the unpredictability and excitement of Euro 2024, setting the stage for enticing quarter-final matchups.
