Sat 6 July UEFA EURO 2024 QUARTERFINALS
England 1 (5) – (3) 1 Switzerland 
80′ Bukayo Saka 75′ Breel Embolo
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.

✅ Stats before the game: This will be the fourth meeting between England and Switzerland between the European Championships and the World Cup: the English won 2-0 at the 1954 World Cup, 3-0 at EURO 2004 and drew 1-1 at EURO 1996. England have lost just one of their last 24 matches against Switzerland (W17, D6) and have remained unbeaten in their last 13 matches against the Swiss (W9, D4) – the last defeat dates back to the World Cup qualifiers in May 1981. England have reached the quarterfinals in four consecutive European and World Cup editions for the first time in their history (all under Gareth Southgate). The Three Lions have made it through in two of the four quarterfinals at the European Championships and three of these quarterfinals were decided by the lottery of penalties. This is only the 5th time that Switzerland has reached the quarterfinals between the European Championships and the World Cup, the second at the European Championships, after EURO 2020. The Swiss have never reached this round in the previous four, more than any other European national team without ever participate in a semi-final.
