England are now in the semifinals of Euro 2024 after again going down to the wire. If it happened against Slovakia in extra time, now it took Switzerland out of penalties. This is the balance of his performance.
PICKFORD key
He intervened successfully on several occasions when he was needed, he was unable to do anything in goal but he saved the penalty that decided the pass.
WALKER Lunar
Southgate placed him as a central defender, so he didn’t go up to attack. He defended without problems, but was unable to get through to the Swiss goal when Embolo beat him to the shot.
STONE Unlucky
He wasn’t overwhelmed although he lacked force at 0-1 as he only got half a hold of Embolo’s cross.
CONSA Seriously
Great new addition to the English eleven in place of the suspended Guéhi, the Aston Villa centre-back was on target at all times, but Ndoye’s cross at 0-1 went between his legs.
TRIPPIER Gray
He advanced his position on the left wing but never once created any danger and through his lane Switzerland took the lead.
YES Correct
Sitting on a double pivot, United’s young player delivered the ball as well as defensive coverage.
Rice Sober
He did his duty without taking any chances and in added time he fired a shot which was a good chance for England.
SAKA is featured
Deployed late in his attacking position in Switzerland, he stood out as a winger who always tried to unbalance and saw his persistence rewarded with a fine goal that made it 1-1.
FODEN Be careful
Southgate focused more on his midfield position but continued to participate sparingly as he was left with almost no space and once again failed to show his quality.
BELLINGHAM Obfuscated
In his mediocre Euro Cup, almost nothing came out of what he tried and seemed to lack spark.
KANE is gone
There was very little news from the English captain and scorer, who was also not made as conspicuous as usual, delaying his position to dedicate himself to his teammates.
SHAW is active
He made his debut in this European Championship after the Swiss goal and his introduction helped to give the English game some momentum.
Dynamic EZE
He came in for Trippier and gave more mobility and depth to the English attack on the left.
PALMER Voluntary
He provided mobility in midfield and tried to overwhelm the center with his quality but couldn’t find space.
TONEY was not published
He relieved Kane at the end but hardly had an option coming into the game.
ALEXANDER-ARNOLD Decisive
He replaced Foden in the final moments of extra time and converted the penalty that qualified England.
