England fail to progress through to the semi-finals after late goal conceded
RESULT: Czechia 2-4 England
Czechia 2 - 4 England
From what felt like a dream for England, turned into a nightmare late on in Albania. At 4-1 up and Italy winning against Belgium in the other group fixture, England's progression to the semi finals was secure. However, in the 89th minute, Czech scored meaning that England would exit the competition down to goal difference. Full time Czechia 2 - 4 England.
Sochůrek gets a second goal back for the Czechs! A goal of little importance to them means that, currently, England will not progress through to the semi-finals.

England look to be cruising to their first win in the group stage, after a dominant first half. Max Dowman fired first scoring a beautiful goal inside the first five minutes then Alejandro Rodriguez slid the ball in from close range for their second. Two quick goals from Howell and Gray at the tail of the first half looks to have settled the tie, after a horror mistake from the Czechia keeper which he won't want to watch back! At half time it stands Czechia 0 - 4 England.
