England Advances to Euro Final Against Spain

The English dream of achieving their first European Championship title drew closer on Wednesday evening, following a dramatic victory over the Netherlands in the semi-finals of Euro 2024. England triumphed over the Dutch team with a score of 2-1 at Dortmund Stadium, with the decisive moments occurring in the final seconds of the match. The star of the "Dutch Tulips," Javi Simons, opened the scoring in the 7th minute, before England's all-time top scorer Harry Kane equalized with a penalty in the 18th minute. The match remained closely contested in the second half until substitute striker Ollie Watkins scored the "decisive goal" in the 91st minute, leading the English team to the final amidst "hysterical" celebrations. This will be England's second consecutive final in the tournament, following their loss to Italy in the Euro 2020 final on penalties. England will face the Spanish team in a highly anticipated final in the German capital, Berlin, next Sunday. England has never won the Euro title, a victory that has eluded them for 60 years, and they will aim to claim the trophy against Spain.
