Euro 2024: Pickford And Saka Lead England Past Switzerland Via Penalties Into Semifinals

Jordan Pickford: Jordan Pickford saved Manuel Akanji's spot-kick as England edged out a resilient Switzerland 5-3 in penalties to reach the semifinals of UEFA Euro 2024. Pickford was the shoot-out hero as England came through a stiff examination by Switzerland and reached the last-four stage.

There was royalty in the crowd in Dusseldorf Arena but on the pitch, it was initially more workmanlike, with both sides industriously keeping their shape and probing cautiously. England settled into their task and their impressive attacking arsenal all fired shots across the bow. Switzerland stood firm, holding them goalless through the first half.

It was 51 minutes before the first shot on target. When it came, the surprise was that it was for the team in red as Breel Embolo's effort was gathered easily by Pickford. Suddenly the Swiss supporters raised their levels and the Nati responded in kind -– with 15 minutes to go the noise of cowbells was through the roof as Embolo poked in Dan Ndoye's deflected cross.
