The match was forced into extra time after a draw in normal time. In that crucial moment, Bellingham once again showed his quality as a key player by scoring the winning goal that sealed the Three Lions' passage to the final four.
Thanks to this brilliant result, England is now waiting for their opponent in the semifinals. They are scheduled to face the winner of the other quarter-final match between Switzerland and Argentina.
