Harry Kane (England) failed to erase the question mark even after winning a penalty.
The English national soccer team, led by head coach Gareth Southgate, came from behind to win 2-1 in the Euro 2024 final against the Netherlands at BVB Stadion Dortmund in Dortmund, Germany on the 11th (Korea time). England will make another final stage following Euro 2020. In the previous tournament, he bowed to Italy after a close penalty shootout.
The atmosphere in the beginning was good in the Netherlands. In the 7th minute of the first half, Xavi Simmons took the ball from the front and shook England's net with a surprise right-footed shot from the corner of the penalty area. Kane brought the game back to square one. He was awarded a penalty in the 18th minute for a foul by Denzel Dumfries. He scored calmly as a kicker. England won by tying Ollie Watkins' winning goal in extra time in the second half.
There is something controversial. It was the process of Kane winning a penalty. British media Daily Star reported 'Kane won the luckiest penalty ever. Kane was credited with being fouled by Dumfries. But the situation that actually happened was different. Kane kicked Dumfries in the foot as he tried to shoot. There was no expectation that a penalty would be awarded. But a penalty was awarded, and Kane scored skillfully,' he reported. According to the media, fans are asking 'How is it a penalty? He always liked video readings (VARs), 'VAR's Light', 'It's a crazy decision'.
