    England lives to see another day at Euro 2024 after some late-game heroics from Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane . Meanwhile, Spain earned itself a date with hosts Germany in the quarterfinals.

    Here's everything that happened on an exciting day at Euro 2024, with stats from FOX Sports Research:

    England 2, Slovakia 1

    • England has made consecutive Euros quarterfinals for the first time since 1968 and 1972. England has just one loss in its last 22 Euros games since 2004.
    • England is still in contention to be the third team to win the Euros after finishing as the runner-up at the previous tournament. Germany did in 1996 and 1980. England has only won a major tournament once: the 1966 World Cup.
    • Harry Kane has played 13 Euros games, the most in England's history, and his six Euros goals, tied for second-most in team history with Wayne Rooney. Alan Shearer holds the record with seven goals. Kane's 14 goals at major tournaments are already the most of any English player.
    • England had just two shots on target and both were goals.
    • Kane (79) passed Peter Shilton (78) as the player with the most ever competitive appearances for England.
    • For all of its games, Slovakia named three players in the starting eleven who were 35 or older: Peter Pekarík (37), Juraj Kucka (37), and Martin Dúbravka (35). France at Euro 2008 is the only other Euros team to start three players 35 and older.
    • Ivan Schranz is the second player to score three goals for Slovakia in the same major international tournament, after Robert Vittek at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
