The match finishes 2-1 to England after extra time, with the sides level 1-1 at the end of normal time. Jude Bellingham is reported to score the decisive goal in extra time. One report frames Ibrahimović’s comments around England playing as if “one player less,” attributing the view to England’s performance during the game.

Across the coverage provided here, the shared elements are the quarter-final matchup, the 1-1 draw during normal time, Bellingham’s extra-time goal, and the final 2-1 scoreline in England’s favour, along with Ibrahimović’s public criticism of an England player’s performance. The reports do not add further details about the specific player criticized or the precise reasoning beyond the overall assessment of England’s showing.
