Jude Bellingham's injury-time goal saved the Three Lions from elimination. Slovakia deserve praise for their brave performance. England will face Switzerland in the quarter-finals - the team that just defeated former champions Italy. 113th minute: England pulled their squad deep to defend. Slovakia were still determined to attack, they quickly looked for opportunities but could no longer maintain their speed. 106th minute: The second half of extra time began. 105th minute: Pekarik was in a very favorable position from his teammate's cross but shot the ball over the bar. 100th minute: England were playing with a three-back formation, with Saka at right-back and Eze on the left. Slovakia were clearly out of shape. 91st minute: The first half of extra time began. Harry Kane headed the ball into the Slovakian net after a pass from Ivan Toney. Kane scored the equalizer.

Palmer performed well when brought on. He should have been given a chance sooner. Photo: UEFA75th minute: England have been awarded 7 corners in this match, so far Slovakia's ability to defend in the penalty area has been excellent. The Three Lions' set pieces have all been neutralized. 70th minute: Saka is now playing at left-back, while Palmer is operating on the right wing like he did at Chelsea. A bold adjustment by Southgate. 65th minute: Coach Southgate sends Cole Palmer on to replace Trippier. This is the first change for the Three Lions. 55th minute: Strelec watches Pickford move up so he shoots from midfield, unfortunately the ball goes wide of the post. England had more possession of the ball, but could not find a way into Slovakia's goal. Photo: UEFA50th minute: Foden rushes in to finish from close range into the Slovakian net after Trippier's precise cross. The goal is ruled out because Foden is offside. 46th minute: The second half begins. END OF HALF-TIME!! Slovakia are temporarily leading 1-0. The Three Lions' reaction after conceding the goal has been very disappointing. They have yet to create any truly dangerous situations. A rare statistic that gives fans optimism is that England have won all three of their recent EURO matches when conceding first. 45+2nd minute: Mainoo unleashes a daring shot from the edge of the box but the ball goes wide. There are 3 minutes of injury time in the first half. 35th minute: England have two consecutive corner kicks but neither player can finish. There is almost no space in the Slovakian defense. Schranz opened the scoring for Slovakia. Photo: UEFA25th minute: GOAL!!!! Ivan Schranz scores from a mistake by Walker. He gets away with Guehi and beats Pickford easily. 24th minute: More chances are coming to England but the players are not creating a clear threat. 18th minute: England can no longer maintain the pressure as in the first minutes, the midfielders pass too many wrong passes. England tried to exploit the space behind Slovakia's defence. Photo: UEFAMinute 12: The ball just passed the England goal, luckily Guehi was there in time to block. Minute 7: Mainoo received a yellow card after a tackle on Duda. Minute 3: Guehi received the first yellow card of the match. So if England go on to the quarter-finals, this defender will be absent. Mainoo started for England for the first time at EURO 2024. Photo: UEFA23:00: The match begins!! Line-up: Slovakia's squad. Photo: UEFA England squad.

Despite remaining undefeated at EURO 2024, the 0-0 draw with Slovenia created a negative reaction from fans. Many experts criticized coach Gareth Southgate's squad. Despite possessing an expensive squad, what the Three Lions showed was very lackluster. Slovakia was clearly underestimated in this confrontation. But they cannot be underestimated as they defeated Belgium in the opening match. Coach Francesco Calzona and his team received many compliments for their beautiful and effective attacking style. Slovakia had a total of 37 shots, and 13 on target in the group stage, which are all records for this team. It will not be easy to subdue the Three Lions, but the threat that Slovakia brings will be very formidable.
