At St. James' Park in Newcastle (England), England hosted Bosnia and Herzegovina. Against a team that was not allowed to participate in EURO, coach Gareth Southgate did not hide his intention to experiment with personnel when he fielded an unfamiliar lineup. For that reason, the Three Lions lacked coherence in their play, and could not even score from the first half to the first half of the second half.
In the 60th minute, England finally scored the opening goal. After checking VAR, the referee determined that Konsa was fouled in a corner kick situation, so he awarded the home team a penalty and Cole Palmer did not make any mistakes in his familiar skill.
Then, Harry Kane, Jack Grealish, James Maddison were brought onto the field to strengthen England's attack. Only then did the Three Lions stars show their grace and score more goals.
In the 85th minute, Arnold kicked the ball accurately to increase the score to 2-0. The 3-goal gap was sealed by Harry Kane in the 89th minute with a close-range rebound from a messy play created from a corner kick.

If England won big, Germany disappointed. Against Ukraine, who also qualified for EURO, Germany, despite playing with a strong squad including Wirtz, Musiala and Gundogan, could not score.
It should also be added that coach Nagelsmann and his team were unlucky in this match with shots hitting the crossbar or goalkeeper Trubin on the Ukrainian side playing very well. In the end, the EURO 2024 host team was held to a 0-0 draw by Ukraine.
The results of some other notable friendlies were as follows: Gibraltar 0 - 2 Scotland, Croatia 3 - 0 North Macedonia and Albania 3-0 Liechtenstein.
