On Saturday afternoon in Dusseldorf, after regular time, the match ended in a 1-1 draw. Bukayo Saka responded to Breel Embolo’s 75th-minute goal five minutes later.
No further goals were scored in extra time, and a penalty shootout was needed to determine the European Championship semi-finalists.
He’s cheating on Beckford’s water bottle.
It was started by Cole Palmer, who gave the Albion boys the lead. Manuel Akanji scored after him. The Swiss goalkeeper made a short run, but his shot was very weak and misplaced, and Pickford sensed his intentions.
The England goalkeeper clearly knew where the ball was going. During the eleven series, Pickford studied the cheat sheet on his water bottle. There was information about individual Swiss players and how to take penalties.
In Akanji’s case, there was a note to throw to the left. And that’s what Pickford did, and it later proved decisive.
The rest of the players made no mistake, as the English won 5-3 and qualified for the top four places in the tournament.
In the semi-finals scheduled for July 10 in Dortmund, their opponent will be the Dutch.
England – Switzerland 1-1 after extra time (1-1, 0-0), penalty shootout 5-3
