1-1 after 90 minutes plus extra time meant penalty shootout.
Then England drew the longest straw and won the penalty shootout with 5-3.
England is thus clear for the semifinal in the European Championship.
The Englishmen scored all their penalties. In Switzerland, it was Manuel Akanji who became the scapegoat and was the only one to miss a penalty in the shootout. After the decision, Akanji was seen thanking the Swiss supporters in tears.
During regular playing time, it was Switzerland who started the scoring in the 75th minute. Dan Ndoye played the ball in from the right flank and Breel Embolo threw himself and managed to poke the ball in.
Five minutes later, England equalized through Bukayo Saka after the Arsenal player's solo raid.
I had faith, it felt like we dominated the match, and I knew the chance would come and I took it, says Saka after the match.
Substitute Xherdan Shaqiri had a ball in the crossbar for Switzerland, which was the closest the team came to a deciding goal during regular time.
England has now turned around a deficit to advancement on two occasions in the championship.
It shows how much we want to win this tournament, to come back from a deficit in two matches. Hopefully, we can win the next match after 90 minutes, but if that's what it takes, we'll do it, says Saka.
England will face the winner between the Netherlands-Turkey in the semifinal, kick-off 21.00.
