Controversial Penalty Kick

Jubilation and Heartbreak
The goal sent the English fans into raptures, while the Dutch were left devastated. England will now face Spain in the final, while the Netherlands will have to settle for third place.
Conclusion
England's victory is a testament to their resilience and determination. They were under pressure for much of the match, but they never gave up and eventually found a way to win. The Three Lions will be aiming to add to their Euro 2024 triumph on Sunday when they take on Spain in the final.
