Comments:

Penalty shoot-out details (Switzerland went second) 1 – Mario Gavranović [scored] 2 – Fabian Schär [saved] 3 – Manuel Akanji [saved] 4 – Ruben Vargas [missed] This was Switzerland's fourth quarter-final at a major tournament; their first since the FIFA World Cup in 1954 and their first in the UEFA European Championship finals. They had now lost all four. Had they won the shoot-out, the Swiss would have become the first team to win more than one penalty shoot-out at a UEFA European Championship finals following their Round of 16 elimination of France. Xherdan Shaqiri became Switzerland's leading scorer at UEFA European Championship finals with four goals, ahead of Hakan Yakin and Haris Seferović (three each).

Penalty shoot-out details (Spain went first) 1 – Sergio Busquets [missed] 2 – Dani Olmo [scored] 3 – Rodri [saved] 4 – Gerard Moreno [scored] 5 – Mikel Oyarzabal [scored] Spain had now joined five teams that had won more than one game after extra time in the knockout stages at a UEFA European Championship finals; all the previous five went on to lift the trophy. They had now won four of their five penalty shoot-outs at UEFA European Championship finals; the only loss being against England at Euro 96. Denis Zakaria's own goal was the tenth OG at Euro 2020; now one more than the combined total at the 15 previous UEFA European Championship finals (nine).
