Match overview
Embolo finished Vargas’ cross to give Switzerland the lead, but Saka’s sublime curl levelled five minutes later. Extra time yielded few chances, and England’s flawless five-kick shoot-out clinched a third semi-final in four tournaments under Southgate. Pickford’s save from Akanji proved decisive.
Trivia
This was Southgate’s 100th match as England boss. Saka became the first English player to score in normal time and a shoot-out in the same Euro match. Switzerland have now exited all five major-tournament quarter-finals they have reached.
