With only 30 minutes left in the match, England should have been two goals down, but Gueye and Trippier combined well to neutralize the threat of a single goal from Haraslin. At the beginning of the second half, England launched a fierce counterattack like an arrow from a string. Trippier made a great pass to Foden, but Foden's offside position made the empty net goal come to naught, and England's morale was dampened.
In the second half, England relentlessly sought an equalizer, and Palmer's substitution attempted to increase the firepower, however, the effect was not significant. The entire Slovakian team defended like a wall of steel, and were unforgiving.
As the game entered the final sixty seconds, Bellingham tied the game at 1-1 with a stunning reverse shot, and the game then went into overtime.
Right at the start of extra time, Kane broke through with a precise header to give England a 2-1 reversal lead, which they eventually kept until the end, achieving a stunning comeback and successfully advancing to the next round.
