England has secured a spot in the Euro 2024 final after a thrilling match against the Netherlands in Dortmund.
Ollie Watkins, a substitute player, scored a decisive goal in the 80th minute, sending the Three Lions to their second consecutive Euros final.
England dominated the first half, confining the Dutch to their own final third. Despite their efforts, they only managed a 1-1 draw at halftime, with Harry Kane scoring a penalty awarded by VAR. The Netherlands’ Xavi Simons had earlier scored a stunning goal.
The second half was less eventful, with Bukayo Saka’s disallowed goal being the most notable moment. With 10 minutes remaining, Gareth Southgate brought on Watkins, who made an instant impact. Receiving a pass from Cole Palmer, Watkins took one touch before firing a lethal strike off the post, securing England’s place in the final.
England will face Spain on Sunday in the final, seeking to build on their impressive performance in Germany. Watkins’ late strike has energized the team, and they are ready to face the Spanish challenge.
