Euro 2024: England win on penalties, set up semifinal clash with Netherlands 

England beat Switzerland on penalties on Saturday to keep their dreams of winning Euro 2024 alive as they advanced to a semifinal showdown with the Netherlands, who came from behind to defeat Turkey in the day’s other match.

In Duesseldorf, England produced another late fightback as their quarterfinal with the Swiss finished 1-1 after 90 minutes and at the end of extra time, before Gareth Southgate’s side triumphed 5-3 in the shootout.

England converted all of their penalties, with Switzerland’s Manuel Akanji the only player to miss as he took his team’s first kick but was denied by a Jordan Pickford save.

A dreary encounter for the first 75 minutes came to life after Breel Embolo put Switzerland in front, sliding in at the back post to convert Dan Ndoye’s deflected cross.

England, who came back from the dead to beat Slovakia in the last round, needed only five minutes to draw level thanks to a fine goal by Bukayo Saka, the Arsenal attacker’s low strike from wide on the right finding the far corner of the net.

There were no further goals, although substitute Xherdan Shaqiri came close to winning the game late in extra time for Switzerland when he hit the woodwork direct from a corner.

Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham, Saka, Ivan Toney and Trent Alexander-Arnold converted their penalties to send England through, as they went some way towards exorcising the ghost of their shoot-out defeat by Italy in the final of Euro 2020.

Switzerland have now reached five quarterfinals at either the World Cup or Euros, and lost them all – they also lost on penalties, to Spain, in the last eight at Euro 2020.

As the Swiss go home, England stay in Germany for a semifinal on Wednesday in Dortmund against the Netherlands, who came from a goal down to beat Turkey 2-1 in Berlin in Saturday’s other quarterfinal.

Samet Akaydin sent Turkey ahead in the first half, heading in from Arda Guler’s cross on 35 minutes.

Akaydin was playing in place of Merih Demiral, Turkey’s two-goal hero in their last-16 win against Austria who was banned for this game for making a controversial salute.

The build-up to the match at Berlin’s Olympiastadion was overshadowed by a diplomatic row between Turkey and Germany after Demiral was banned.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attended the game as a result, along with tens of thousands of fans who greeted every sustained Dutch period of possession with a barrage of whistles.

But the Netherlands kept their cool in a hostile atmosphere and equalised 20 minutes from the end as Stefan de Vrij met Memphis Depay’s cross to score with a towering header.

The Dutch then won it six minutes later when Mert Muldur bundled a low Denzel Dumfries cross into his own net under pressure from Cody Gakpo.

That was enough for the Netherlands, who won the Euros in West Germany in 1988, to advance to a first semifinal at the tournament since 2004.

Spain and France meet in the first semifinal in Munich on Tuesday, with the winners of the two last-four ties advancing to the final in Berlin next Sunday.
