Football: France have advanced to the semi-finals of the Euros with a shootout win against Portugal.
France send Portugal home in penalties! | 00:50England’s quest for a first major tournament win in 58 years remained alive after another late fightback before beating Switzerland 5-3 on penalties to book their place in the Euro 2024 semi-finals on Saturday.
“It’s the best we’ve played, I thought we caused them a lot of problems with the ball,” England manager Gareth Southgate said. Saka’s fine strike from outside the box levelled with England’s first shot on target five minutes later. In his 100th match in charge of his country, Southgate again resisted calls for mass changes in personnel but did alter his system.
Saka was skipping beyond Michel Aebischer at will and created the best chance of the first period when Kobbie Mainoo saw an effort deflected behind just before the halftime whistle.Southgate has been repeatedly criticised for being too slow to influence games with his substitutions.
