Approximately
25,000

a
group
of
England
fans
were
attacked
by
Netherlands
supporters
in
the
town
center.

According
to
a
statement
from
UK
police,
who
were
present
in
Germany
to
collaborate
with
local
authorities,
the
incident
was
effectively
handled
by
German
law
enforcement
with
the
assistance
of
UK
officers.

also
noted
that
there
were
no
serious
incidents
reported
after
the
match,
which
saw
England
triumph
over
the

with
a
2-1
victory.

This
win
propels
England
to
the
Euro
2024
final,
where
they
will
face
Spain
on
Sunday
in
Berlin,
with
kick-off
scheduled
for
20:00
BST.

The
Netherlands
took
an
early
lead
through
Xavi
Simons
in
the
seventh
minute.
However,
England
responded
swiftly,
with
Harry
Kane
equalizing
11
minutes
later.
The
decisive
moment
came
in
stoppage
time
when
substitute
Ollie
Watkins,
following
a
precise
pass
from
Cole
Palmer,
scored
the
winning
goal.

The
England
team
and
their
fans
are
now
looking
forward
to
the
final,
hopeful
for
a
historic
victory
in
Berlin.
