The set-piece was near perfect, whipped over the wall and giving Pickford no chance of saving it. The goal, the first England has conceded in this tournament, quieted the crowd -- but only temporarily. England was galvanized and moments after Sterling was denied an equalizer by a wonderful save from Schmeichel, Bukayo Saka's cross was accidentally turned in by defender Kjaer.

In truth, Sterling was waiting for a tap-in had Kjaer not deflected the ball into the net. The second half started like the first with England on the hunt for a goal. Harry Maguire almost found the net with a header but Schmeichel was there yet again to push the effort to safety. Clear cut-chances were then few and far between as nerves seemed to take over in that second period, with extra-time needed to separate the sides.

The English pressure only intensified after the break as it continued knocking at the red wall of defenders. Kane had an effort well saved before Jack Grealish's shot stung the keeper's palms.

Then came the pivotal moment when Sterling went down under pressure in the box. Contact was minimal but enough, according to the referee. Kane, usually so assured from the spot, had his first attempt saved but sent a country into delirium as he stabbed home the rebound. We reacted really well. We're in a final at home, what a feeling.

Kasper Schmeichel made some impressive saves to keep Denmark in the tie. Denmark credit. For Denmark, which won Euro 92, this has been an extraordinary tournament. The team, and nation, was shaken when its talisman Eriksen collapsed on the field during its opening group game against Finland.

The power, strength and resilience shown by the Danish players as Eriksen recovered will inevitably go on to define this tournament and both teams paid tribute to the playmaker before the semifinal.

England captain Kane presented Denmark with an Eriksen shirt signed by all the players ahead of kick-off, a gesture applauded by both sets of fans.
