English-born Ghanaian youngster Kobbie Mainoo has secured a well-deserved position in Sofascore's Euro 2024 Team of the Week following his exceptional performance in the semifinals.

Mainoo's impressive outing in the semifinals has caught the attention of football enthusiasts and solidified his place among the tournament's top performers.

The talented midfielder was instrumental for the Three Lions on Wednesday night when England defeated the Netherlands 2-1 in the 2024 European Championship.

Starting for his country in the second semi-final game of the ongoing tournament in Germany, Mainoo showcased his skills, particularly in the first half where he dictated play for most parts of the contest. His outstanding performance was crucial as the Three Lions came from behind to overcome the Dutch.

The match saw Xavi Simons give the Netherlands an early lead with a screamer in the 7th minute. However, England equalized in the 18th minute through a Harry Kane penalty. The decisive moment came in the 90th minute when substitute Ollie Watkins scored the winning goal, securing a 2-1 victory for England and sending them to the finals of the 2024 Euros to face Spain.

Mainoo's remarkable performance has not only earned him accolades but also a spot in Sofascore's prestigious Team of the Week. The young sensation will now aim to win his first international trophy with England by helping his team defeat Spain in the final on Sunday, July 14.
