    The final four of the UEFA Euros are set as England booked their place in the semi-finals after beating Switzerland via a penalty shootout on Saturday.

    The match was kept in the balance with both teams sharing the ball possession (52%/48%), similar amounts of shots (13/11), and the same amount of shots on target (3).

    The first goal came from B Embolo in the 75th minute before Bukayo Saka equalised in the 80th minute.

    The match was decided via a penalty shootout as England won 5-3. They will meet the Netherlands on Wednesday at 3pm.

    The Netherlands came from behind to beat Turkey with a 2-1 win.

    The Turks scored first in the 35th minute to go into the first half with the one-nil advantage.

    However, the Dutch had to wait 35 minutes before they scored their first goal which was netted by Stefan de Vrij to make the match one-all.

    An unfortunate own goal was scored by defender Mert Mulder of Turkey to give the Dutch the two-one advantage in the 76th minute.

    The match ended that way to give the Dutch the victory.

    On Friday, hosts Germany were knocked out of the quarterfinals by Spain losing 2-1 while France beat Portugal 5-3 in a penalty shootout.

    The winners will meet on Tuesday at 3pm.
