Match overview
Teenager Wayne Rooney netted twice-becoming the youngest scorer in Euro history-before Steven Gerrard swept in a late third to seal England’s recovery from their opening-day heartbreak. Switzerland’s hopes faded after Bernt Haas collected two bookings in eleven minutes and was dismissed on the hour.
Trivia
Rooney’s brace eclipsed Dragan Stojković’s 20-year-old age record by eight months. Switzerland remain the only side at Euro 2004 to receive both a double booking and a straight red for the same player in one match.
