Scoreless · final
England dominate possession and shots but cannot break Ghana's stubborn defence.
England and Ghana played out a goalless draw in Group L at Gillette Stadium, with England unable to convert a commanding territorial advantage into a goal. England finished with 19 shots to Ghana's 2, and 9 corners to Ghana's 2, yet only 4 of those attempts were on target and none found the net. Ghana's solitary shot on target was equally fruitless. England made five substitutions in an effort to find a breakthrough, bringing on Gordon (65'), O'Reilly (66'), Rogers (73'), Eze (74'), and Rashford (83') in place of Saka, Spence, Bellingham, Anderson, and Madueke respectively, but the scoreline remained level at the final whistle.
The point leaves both teams yet to win in Group L. England's inability to score despite 78 percent possession will be a concern heading into their remaining group fixtures, while Ghana — who held their shape in a 4-3-3 with just 22 percent of the ball — take a point they will consider hard-earned. Williams picked up a yellow card in the 60th minute before being substituted out at 66'; Rice had been booked for England in the 41st.
