England defeated Slovakia 2-1 with goals from Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane, securing their spot in the quarter-finals after a late comeback.

In a thrilling round of 16 match at the UEFA EURO 2024, England pulled off a remarkable comeback to secure a victory against Slovakia. The game, held at the Arena AufSchalke in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, witnessed two late goals that kept England’s Euro 2024 campaign alive.

With the clock ticking and England on the brink of elimination, Jude Bellingham emerged as the hero in the fifth minute of injury time. With a stunning overhead kick, Bellingham found the back of the net, sending the game into extra time and giving England a glimmer of hope.

And that hope quickly turned into jubilation for the English fans, as within a minute of the extra period, Harry Kane delivered the winning blow. Kane, known for his clinical finishing, unleashed a powerful header from close range, capitalizing on a flick across the goal by substitute Ivan Toney.

Slovakia, on the other hand, were left devastated, as they were just moments away from reaching their first ever tournament quarter final. Ivan Schranz had been their goal scorer once again, displaying his prowess in front of the net. This time, he converted a smart finish after 25 minutes, courtesy of some excellent work from David Strelec.

The Slovaks came close to extending their lead early in the second half, when Strelec attempted a long-range shot from 50 yards. A miscommunication between John Stones and Marc Guehi allowed the opportunity, but fortunately for England, the effort narrowly missed the post, sparing them from going two goals down.

Overall, it was a thrilling encounter that showcased the resilience and fighting spirit of the English team. With their dramatic late goals, England kept their Euro 2024 dreams alive and advanced to the next stage of the tournament.
