England narrowly avoided an early exit from Euro 2024 with a dramatic comeback against Slovakia, securing a 2-1 victory in extra time. Trailing after Ivan Schranz's 25th-minute goal for Slovakia, England seemed destined for disappointment until Jude Bellingham's acrobatic overhead kick in stoppage time rescued them. Harry Kane then sealed the win with an early strike in extra time, setting up a quarter-final clash with Switzerland in Duesseldorf.

Reflecting on the match, Kane praised the team's resilience, stating, "That's the desire and the attitude from the boys. It looked tough for a second there but you keep going." Meanwhile, England manager Gareth Southgate acknowledged the need for improvement despite the victory, emphasizing the team's spirit and character.

In another thrilling match, Spain overcame an early scare to defeat Georgia 4-1 in Cologne. Georgia initially took the lead through an own goal by Robin Le Normand, marking Spain's first conceded goal of the tournament. However, Spain rallied with goals from Rodri Hernandez, Fabian Ruiz, Nico Williams, and Dani Olmo to secure their place in the quarter-finals. Spain will face Germany in Stuttgart, setting up a rematch of the Euro 2008 final.

Georgia, despite their elimination, departed with pride after a historic first appearance at a major tournament. Coach Willy Sagnol expressed his pride in the team's achievements, noting their memorable victories, including one over Portugal in the group stage.

The Euro 2024 excitement continues on Monday with France taking on Belgium and Portugal meeting Slovenia in the remaining Round of 16 matches.
