England won the UEFA EURO 2024 Quarterfinals on Saturday 6 July 2024 at the Dusseldorf Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany. England defeated Switzerland in penalty shootouts. The last time England and Switzerland met was in an international friendly was in 2022 where goals from Harry Kane and Luke Shaw gave England the victory 2-1. England will play the Semifinal against the winner of Netherlands v Turkey.
One hundred and twenty minutes of play were not enough for England and Switzerland to get through the round and thus reach the semi-finals. Penalty kicks were needed with two great goalkeepers, Jordan Pickford and Yann Sommer. After the 120 minutes finished with a 1-1 draw, goalkeeper Pickford was England’s hero in the shoot-out because he saved Switzerland’s first spot-kick from Manuel Akanji. The final celebration is for England claiming the qualification to the Semifinals.
England and Switzerland have played 31 games: England with 22 wins, Switzerland with 3 wins, and 6 draws.
