New Delhi: It’s half time and Slovakia have done a tremendous job keeping the lead in tact as England have shown the urgency that was missing throughout the season for Southgate’s men. However, Slovakia got the lead in the first half thanks to the current joint top scorer of this Euro campaign Ivan Schranz. Slovakia shocked England with a 1-0 lead in the 25th minute of the game as it was a fantastic headed flick-on that was taken down brilliantly by Strelec, who protected the ball well and threaded it in behind the defence. Ivan Schranz was there again to stab a wonderful low shot beyond Pickford into the bottom-right corner to give Slovakia a well deserved lead.
However, England have looked much more threatening than usual, something that Southgate can smile about, but the chances need to be converted. England will be looking to do better as they have hesitated in taking their shots. Considering their attacking quality, they really shouldn’t be trailing at this point with the amount of chances that have been created by them.
