Half an hour before the kick-off, England seemed to be in a two-goal deficit, but fortunately Gueye and Trippier worked well together to defuse a Haraslin raid. As the bell rang for the second half, England launched a furious comeback. Trippier assisted Foden to get the ball in the open goal, but Foden was offside first and the goal was disallowed, which put the whole team in a low mood. In the second half, England was relentless in their quest for an equalizer, sending in Palmer to strengthen the attack, but to little avail. Slovakia's defense was solid and made no mistakes. In the last 60 seconds of the match, Bellingham scored a spectacular hook to give England a miraculous 1-1 equalizer and send the game into extra time.
After only a minute of extra time, Kane broke through with a header to give England a 2-1 lead, which they eventually held until the end, successfully staging a comeback and advancing to the next round.
