England's U21 squad are set to face Spain in a thrilling quarter-final match at the UEFA U21 European Championships on Saturday evening.
Despite only securing one victory in their three group matches, Lee Carsley's team advanced to the knockout stages. They started strong with a 3-1 win over the Czech Republic, but were held to a goalless draw by Slovenia last Sunday.
A narrow 2-1 defeat to Germany followed on Wednesday, with England trailing by two goals before half-time. A second-half goal from Alex Scott suggested a possible comeback, but England couldn't find an equaliser.
Nevertheless, they've made it through and now go head-to-head with Spain - a team they narrowly defeated 1-0 in the final of this tournament in 2023. Other quarter-finalists include Portugal, the Netherlands, Denmark, France, Germany, and Italy.
The victor of the Spain vs England match will go on to face either Portugal or the Netherlands in the semi-finals, reports football.london.
