England narrowly avoided defeat to secure a 2-1 victory over Slovakia in their Euro 2024 last-16 clash, thanks to a dramatic late bicycle kick by Jude Bellingham that pushed the match into extra time. Harry Kane sealed the win with a header soon after.
The English team struggled against Slovakia, who displayed aggressive play and constant pressing, taking the lead with Ivan Schranz’s goal from a counter-attack in the 25th minute. Despite England’s efforts, including Declan Rice hitting the post from long range, they struggled to find an equalizer until Bellingham’s last-minute strike, their first shot on target in the game.
In the quarter-finals, England will face Switzerland, who eliminated defending champions Italy with a 2-0 victory on Saturday.
