England vs Ghana
Match Report
England were held to a frustrating goalless draw by Ghana in their Group L clash at Boston Stadium. The night's defining moment came in the 90th minute when Fatawu sensationally cleared Marc Guehi's header off the line, denying the Three Lions what would have been a dramatic late winner.
There were no goals, red cards or penalties, though Declan Rice earned a yellow card in the 41st minute. England's best chance earlier came when O'Reilly's header struck the crossbar in the 86th minute and Kane's follow-up sailed over. Ghana went close too when Adu broke clean through on Jordan Pickford but was flagged offside.
Thomas Partey marshalled Ghana's defensive effort superbly, limiting Saka and Madueke to half-chances throughout, while goalkeeper Benjamin Asare pulled off a crucial save.
England managed only three shots on target from 19 attempts and must find a cutting edge before facing Panama in their final group game. Ghana, buoyed by this resilient defensive display, face Croatia in what promises to be a decisive decider.
