England ace in penalties! Beat Switzerland after the score went 1-1 at ET to secure Euro Semis berth

After losing the European Championship final on penalties three years prior, England defeated Switzerland in a shootout to advance to the Euro 2024 semifinals.  Bukayo Saka, who missed the final penalty kick of the 2021 final shootout, was another to score. Switzerland's first penalty kick taker Manuel Akanji was earlier denied by England goalie Jordan Pickford. After England's Saka scored in the 80th minute with a shot off the post to negate Switzerland's goal five minutes earlier through Breel Embolo, the quarterfinal headed to overtime.

England are through! Secure massive win over Switzerland on penalties to secure semifinal spot 

After a 1-1 draw in extra time on Saturday, England won the shootout 5-3 thanks to a goal from Trent Alexander-Arnold. Alexander-Arnold's shot into the top corner of the net to win the game came after England had converted its first four penalties.

Harry Kane, the captain and striker for England, appeared hurt when he clashed with manager Gareth Southgate on the touchline during a challenge for a ball, so he was sidelined for the shootout. His replacement was Ivan Toney. In extra time, the Swiss had the better opportunities to win, with substitute Xherdan Shaqiri striking the goal frame directly from a corner. After defeating Slovakia 2-1 in extra time in the round of sixteen, England had to wait until the very end of the game to win two straight games.
