England's thrilling 2-1 extra-time victory over Slovakia in the Euro 2024 Round of 16 was marred by a heated altercation between Slovakia's manager and England's Declan Rice. The tense confrontation erupted as the Slovakia boss approached the referee to protest a decision, leading to a physical exchange with the Arsenal midfielder.
The incident occurred in the aftermath of England's dramatic win, which saw Harry Kane score the winner in extra time. As the Slovakia manager vehemently expressed his displeasure to the referee, he appeared to shove Declan Rice in the chest, sparking a fiery response from the England ace.
Rice, taken aback by the sudden push, stood his ground and exchanged words with the Slovakia manager, his face etched with anger. The situation was eventually diffused by intervening staff and players, but the incident has cast a shadow over an otherwise exhilarating match.
England's 2-1 win, secured in extra time, saw Jude Bellingham score a stunning equalizer in the 90th minute, forcing the game into extra time. Harry Kane's winner in the added period sealed England's place in the quarterfinals, where they will face Switzerland on July 6, 2024.
