In Kutaisi, the English continued their faultless course by dismissing Portugal thanks to the only goal of Anthony Gordon (34th). The Newcastle striker secured his place in the semi-finals, at the expense of the last opponent of the Belgians defeated in the group stage in group A (2-1).
This English qualification is synonymous with Olympic qualification for the three other teams that make up the last four. Indeed, three Olympic tickets were distributed during this Euro. England not participating in the Olympic Games, Israel, Spain and Ukraine are assured of their presence in Paris in 2024.
Indeed, Ukraine created a surprise by eliminating Blueberries in the arena of Cluj. After Cherki’s opener (19th), Sudakov scored twice, first on a penalty (32nd) then from full play (44th) to put Ukraine in control. Wahi thought he equalized late in the game (81st), but his goal was canceled and Bondarenko inflicted the coup de grace on the French a few minutes later (86th).
In the semi-final, Israel will face England in Batumi on Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. (Belgian time). Spain will then face Ukraine at 21:00 in Bucharest. The final will be played on July 8 between the winners of these two confrontations, in Batumi.
