Both Spain and England registered victories in the Euro 2024 semi-finals in a similar fashion as both came from a goal behind to score two goals and clinch their qualification to the final. Spain defeated France 2-1 in the semi-final as Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo scored each for Spain while England defeated the Netherlands 2-1 as Harry Kane and Ollie Watkins found the back of the net.
