⏪ England score injury time winner vs Netherlands in EURO 2024 semi | OneFootball

Xavi Simons fired Netherlands into the lead after 7 minutes but Kane draws England level after VAR controversially awards a penalty in open game before Ollie Watkins struck late.

We're ending this live here, but make sure to check across OneFootball for all the reaction to the game... there will be plenty.

We'll be back on Sunday for the final, which promises to be a classic.

Join us then.

FULL TIME!

England are in the final for the second successive tournament!

They were the better side, but needed some VAR luck and an excellent strike from Ollie Watkins.

The Three Lions will face Spain on Sunday.

90+1' GOAL!

Would you believe it? England are bound for the final!

Ollie Watkins spins the Netherlands defence and fires low past Bart Verbruggen with their first effort on target of the second half!

86' YELLOW CARD

Bukayo Saka goes into the book for a late challenge on Cody Gakpo. England are hanging on a bit here.

80' GOAL DISALLOWED!

England think they have taken the lead when Bukayo Saka pokes home, only for the offside flag to deny them.

Meanwhile, Foden and Kane head off to be replaced by Ollie Watkins and Cole Palmer.

Before that.....

Cole Palmer, Ollie Watkins and Anthony Gordon are all warming up for England.

This came could be won from the substitutes bench.

72' YELLOW CARD

The Dutch are beginning to strangle England and Jude Bellingham has had enough, missing out on a 50/50 and earning himself a booking.

65' CHANCE!

A Netherlands free kick evades everyone until Virgil van Dijk gets a foot on it, forcing a fine stop from Jordan Pickford.

The resulting corner is headed over by Denzel Dumfries.

Don't worry, you aren't missing much.

58' The game has lost it's tempo from the first half as neither side wants to make a mistake.

The Netherlands have bolstered their midfield to deny England space, and the Three Lions are still trying to figure it out.

We're yet to see a shot this half.

England look to finally be justifying their position as tournament favourites against a very good Dutch side.

50' Bukayo Saka beats Nathan Ake but his cut-back finds no-one in an England shirt.

It's been a slow start to the second half at the Signal Iduna Park.

SECOND HALF KICK OFF

The answer? Not very long.

The England left-back is on for Kieran Trippier for the second half and the Three Lions must surely feel that they have a great chance of back-to-back finals at European Championships in the next 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, Ronald Koeman also makes a change as Wout Weghorst comes on for Donyell Malen.

Luke Shaw has been going through an intensive warmup during the break.

How long until we see him on the left hand side for England?

HALF TIME!

England roared back into the game after Xavi Simons handed Netherlands the lead, and will feel hard done by not going into the break ahead.

45 minutes later, both sides remain a goal away from a potential final.

Kobbie Mainoo has been the best player on the pitch so far, winning the ball tigerishly in midfield and producing some lovely flicks.

Young kids really do run the EUROs this year.

Hard to argue with this, but the VAR decision will remain massively controversial...

38' England are still seeing plenty of the ball without truly creating chance after chance. Neither keeper has made a save yet but both sides have hit the woodwork.

SUBSTITUTION: More pain for the Netherlands as Memphis Depay cannot continue.

He's replaced by Joey Veerman in a change that will see a change of system too.

32' CHANCE!

Phil Foden is finally enjoying himself in an England shirt and comes close once more to handing his side the lead!

He hits a bending effort not unlike Yamine Lamal's from 24 hours ago, but he can't get enough curl on it and it ricochets back off the post.

It's end to end stuff in Dortmund.

This is how close England came to taking the lead....

29' CHANCE!

Netherlands force the first corner of the game and almost retake the lead!

Denzel Dumfries, who gave away the penalty, rises highest but sees his header crash back off the crossbar and over.

23' CHANCE!

England are almost ahead! Phil Foden shows remarkable footwork after being slipped in by Kobbie Mainoo, but his effort is off the line by Denzel Dumfries!

The Dutch have gone from in command to hanging on!

Harry Kane, England's record goalscorer and EURO semi-final specialist.

18' GOAL!

England are level!

Harry Kane steps up and fires past Verbruggen.

They deserved it on the balance of play, but that penalty decision will rage on for much of the night.

16' WOW!

That pressure from Dumfries was deemed illegal by the Inter Milan defender, and the referee is sent to the monitor by VAR.

He points to the spot, much to the surprise of most in the stadium.

14' CHANCE!

Harry Kane blazes over!

Saka drives inside before his blocked shot reaches Kane, who volleys over under pressure from Denzel Dumfries.

England are pushing.

12' England are looking to get back into it immediately and force a couple of set pieces.

From the second, Declan Rice is free at the back post but tries to square it rather than shoot.

7' GOAL!

The Netherlands take the lead with their first effort of the game, and it's a stunner from Xavi Simons.

He takes aim from 25 yards and fires it into the top corner. Jordan Pickford had no chance.

England behind early.

5' England with plenty of the early possession. They will be hoping that Phil Foden can finally turn up for the Three Lions this tournament after a stellar season for Manchester City.

It is City teammate Kyle Walker that is called into action though, having to cover a Dutch breakaway after they played through England's press beautifully.

KICK OFF!

We have a potential classic on our hands if either side can get out of second gear tonight.

National anthems sung, smoke clearing.

It's go time in Dortmund.

Here we go...are you ready?

It's not the Yellow Wall tonight!

The importance of youth has been a theme so far at EURO 2024 and once again the young guns will take a starring role in this semi-final.

A few words from Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman before kick-off ♟️

The famous 'Dortmund Waterfall' ™️ is back, with plenty of rain having fallen before the match. Cue the Old Trafford jokes...

And for the Netherlands there is also just one change as Steven Bergwijn drops out to be replaced by the speed of Donyell Malen in attack.

TEAM NEWS!

England make just one change from the side that beat Switzerland on penalties. Marc Guehi, who was suspended, returns in place of Ezri Konsa.

It wasn't all fun and games with the supporters mind. The BBC are reporting that five have suffered minor injuries after a fight at a bar.

We are just under 30 minutes away from team news in Dortmund. Will Southgate stick with five at the back. Will Luke Shaw be fit to start?

A nation awaits the answers.

Early numbers put the Netherlands fans in Dortmund at around 75,000, and we thought that was a lot.

Now, the official Netherlands social media have claimed as many as 110,000 Dutch men and women may have descended on the German City.

For comparison, the entire population of Dortmund itself was measured at 587,010 in 2019!

Back in the Netherlands, people are getting in the spirit too.

One shop is even selling food called "Depay-tjes", which pay homage to Depay's new look headband this tournament.

Dutch fans will be hoping the onion headbands are the only reason they are in tears this evening.

Meanwhile, England fans ever found Gareth Southgate's doppleganger in Dortmund.

Don't give up the day job just yet Gareth!

The fans have certainly been getting in the mood for tonight's game, though it is perhaps more jovial than you might expect for a EURO semi-final.

They even joined forces to belt out an English classic!

Lying in wait in Sunday's final are Spain, who have come through a incredibly tough stretch of knockout games. La Roja made history in the process though.

So, the Netherlands have some support this evening....
