In the European Championship quarter-final, England and Switzerland drew 0-0 at half-time, with both teams failing to register a shot on target.
Both teams combined for just seven shots in the first half, with England recording five to Switzerland’s two, but none of these attempts found their way on target. Statistics show that this is only the second time in the last 69 European Championship knockout games, dating back to the 1996 semi-finals, that both teams have failed to hit the target in the first half.
Throughout the first half, England’s expected goals (xG) was 0.28, while Switzerland had only 0.08. The most threatening shot came in the closing stages when Saka’s cutback from the byline found Munu, who was denied from close range.
