England's Under-21 team suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Germany in their final group match of the European Under-21 Championship. The defending champions found themselves 2-0 down inside the opening 33 minutes but mounted a comeback in the second half, with Alex Scott scoring for England. Despite the resurgence, Lee Carsley, the England coach, was critical of his team's performance, particularly their start, stating they were "shell-shocked." England will now face Spain in the quarter-finals, with the result not affecting their positioning as Slovenia lost to the Czech Republic. Carsley admitted the changes he made at half-time improved England's performance, but expressed disappointment that it took a 2-0 deficit for his team to respond.
