England is looking better in the second half, there is an urgency among the players. Mainoo is challenged just outside the box and England gets a free kick.

Three minutes added on. Slovakian skipper Milan Skriniar also gets into the book of the referee for a rash challenge on Bellingham. 

England looks short of ideas on how to go up the field. Southgate’s men are looking out of place in this fixture. It is just passing sideways and backwards rather than bringing its forward players into the play. 

Foden tries to play a cross field pass for Trippier’s overlapping run but the pass is overcooked. 

England has looked toothless in attack so far and vulnerable in defence. England gets a free kick in a good position. Foden takes plays a good cross and Dubravka saves it with a punch but takes out teammate Denis Vavro, who is down on the pitch. It is a head injury and the referee stops the match. He received treatment on the pitch and is okay to carry on for the moment. 

Bellingham makes a driving run into the box and gets a corner. Trippier’s set piece is defended out for another corner. The referee calls for a foul during the retake and it is a Slovakia goal kick. 

England is not sure what it is looking to do at the moment. Bellingham finds Saka, who plays an overcooked cross, Trippier keeps it in play and finds Kane. The England captain tries to find Saka but his pass is way to high for the Arsenal winger. 

England is trying to regroup and get back into the game. The Slovakian goal has forced them to be more proactive and look for an equaliser. 

Ivan Schranz scores for Slovakia. This is his third goal of the Euro 2024 and becomes the joint-highest top scorer of the tournament. A brilliant attack from Slovakia with striker David Strelec providing the assist. England under a lot of pressure right now. 

Bellingham and Rice make a brilliant one-two and make an inroad into the Slovakian box, there is a penalty shout but the referee is unmoved. Trippier plays a cross and its cleared by Slovakia for a corner. The resulting set piece is defended well but Saka puts in a beautiful cross which causes the Slovakian defence all sorts of problem but England still can’t take advantage. 

England has been very slow in procession, it lacks the speed in passing and going back too often. Slovakia is sitting deep and looking for counter-attacking opportunities. 

An intense press from Slovakia is forcing England to go back. Another yellow card shown, its Bellingham. The Real Madrid player makes a late challenge on Haraslin. This is the fourth yellow of the match so far. 

Walker gets caught out by the pace of Haraslin, who makes a brilliant run from the left flank. A huge let off for England, Trippier comes to the rescue as Haraslin clipped it over Pickford. Another yellow card shown by the referee, this time to Slovakia’s Kucka. 

Slovakia has started the match strong and threatening to take an early lead, it is pushing players up and Haraslin is looking very dangerous. Bellingham finds Trippier with a cross field ball and the England left-back skies it. A good chance for England. 

Haraslin almost gets Slovenia an early lead. A brilliant counter attack from Slovakia from the left flank, Haraslin tries to go across Pickford but his shot goes just wide of the far post. Another yellow card for England, this time for Mainoo for a late challenge. 

England is looking for a response after getting termed as one of the most boring teams to watch in Euro 2024. Marc Guehi is already on a yellow card as Slovenia’s David Strelec tries to break through. Free kick for England to defend.
