Harry Kane brought England back to life by scoring a quick equalizer shortly after the Netherlands took the lead. Only 18 minutes into the UEFA Euro 2024 semifinal, the English captain was fouled in the box, and after VAR review, he took charge of the penalty shot to make things level for the Three Lions.
Even though Dutch goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen guessed Kaneâs intention by diving to his right, the Bayern Munich star was extremely accurate to put the ball in the back of the net.
