The match between England and the Netherlands was one for the books. The Netherlands soccer team hoped to reach the finals of an international competition for the first time since their World Cup finals appearance in 2010, while England relished the chance at European glory, having last reached the final in 2020 when they lost to Italy.
The match saw an early goal by X. Simons in the 7th minute, with Simons nicking the ball away from the defender and scoring an outstanding goal from outside the box to give the Netherlands a 1-0 lead. However, the lead did not last long as England was awarded a penalty, which Harry Kane converted to level the score at 1-1. The match seemed destined for extra time, but in the 90th minute, a goal assisted by Palmer saw Watkins smash the ball into the left corner of the net, propelling England to the finals of the European Championship 2024.
Now all eyes turn to July 14th, when Spain will take on England in the finals of the European Championship.
