England will play Switzerland in the Euro 2024 quarter final following their comeback victory over Slovakia on Sunday.

Gareth Southgate’s side were on the brink of a shock exit at Euro 2024 as they went a goal down in their last-16 tie against Slovakia before Jude Bellingham’s overhead kick in the 94th minute forced extra time.

Harry Kane then popped up with his second goal of Euro 2024 to put England ahead in the first minute of extra time and it was enough to secure the Three Lions’ place in the final eight of the tournament.

England’s win means they will now play Switzerland in the Euro 2024 quarter final at 5pm on Saturday, July 6.

Switzerland, who finished second in Group A behind Germany, reached the last eight of the competition on Saturday with an impressive 2-0 victory over the reigning European champions Italy.

‘We still need to keep our feet on the ground and be humble in our approach,’ Switzerland head coach, Murat Yakin, said after his side’s win against Italy.

‘The mood is excellent. There is no outside noise.

‘We had a week to prepare for Italy. We will be able to watch Sunday's game and our plan will come to mind about what happens but we will focus on ourselves. There are only good sides at the Euros.’

If England beat Switzerland, they will play one of Romania, Netherlands, Austria or Turkey in the semi final at 8pm on July 10.

Romania, who finished top of Group E, will play the Netherlands in their last-16 tie on July 2 at 5pm.

Meanwhile Austria, who were the surprise winners of Group D which included France, Netherlands and Poland, face Turkey in their last-16 clash on July 2 at 8pm.

If England win their semi final, they will meet one of Germany, Spain, Georgia, Portugal, Slovenia, France or Belgium in the final, which will be played on July 14 at 8pm.
