The second finalist of the European Football Championship has been revealed.

It is the English national team, who defeated the Netherlands with a score of 2:1.

At the beginning of the match, the English received a painful blow - in the 7th minute, Xavi Simons took the ball and defeated Jordan Pickford with a fantastic shot (0:1).

The English tried to equalize the score and H. Kane tried to direct the ball into the goal from the penalty area. He was actively obstructed by D. Dumfries, who collided with the opponent's leg. The referee decided to review the moment after a couple of minutes and awarded a penalty kick.

The injured H. Kane himself stood at the ball, giving no chance to B. Verbruggen - 1:1.

The teams exchanged dangerous moments - P. Foden wasted the chance, and in the 30th minute, a shot by D. Dumfries hit the goal frame.

In the second half, the teams played more calmly, and in the 79th minute, B. Saka scored a goal, which the referee soon disallowed, ruling it offside.

As the match approached extra time, O. Watkins, who appeared on the field after a substitution, shone by scoring the decisive goal from an acute angle - 2:1.

The final between Spain and England will be played on July 14 at the Berlin Stadium.
