English-born Ghanaian midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has been voted by England supporters in an online poll as the man of the match in England's 2-1 semi-final win over Holland on Wednesday evening at the ongoing Euro 2024  tournament.

Mainoo's exceptional play in the semifinals has garnered widespread praise, solidifying his reputation as one of the tournament's top performers.

The young midfielder was instrumental in England's 2-1 victory over the Netherlands, playing a crucial role in the Three Lions' success.

Starting in the second semi-final match of the ongoing tournament in Germany, Mainoo showcased his skills, especially in the first half, where he controlled the tempo of the game.

His influential performance was key to England's comeback after falling behind early in the match.

The game saw Xavi Simons give the Netherlands an early lead with a stunning strike in the 7th minute. England responded in the 18th minute when Harry Kane converted a penalty to equalize.

The decisive moment came in the 90th minute when substitute Ollie Watkins scored the winning goal, sending England to the finals of the 2024 Euros to face Spain.

Mainoo's remarkable performance has earned him a place in Sofascore's prestigious Team of the Week.

The talented youngster now sets his sights on winning his first international trophy with England, as they prepare to face Spain in the final on Sunday, July 14.
