As a result the match now goes into extra time. This means after a five-minute break at the end of the 90 minutes the teams will play two halves of 15 minutes.

As a rule, the players remain on the field of play during this five-minute break, at the discretion of the referee.

If extra time ends - which will be after 10.30pm - with one of the two teams winning they will then be Euro 2020 champions.

There are rules around substitutions when the game goes into extra time.

During the 90 minutes, each team can make up to five substitutions in Euro 2020. In extra-time teams are allowed to make a sixth change.

If the game did go into extra time it would be the second time in a week for England after the semi-final against Denmark
