Description

Jordan Pickford

6.5

A quiet evening behind England's control, though his pass under pressure led to Costa Rica's only shot.

Reece James

6.8

Tidy and reliable on the right flank, combining with Madueke, though less prominent than England's devastating left side.

Ezri Konsa

6.9

Composed at the back with licence to advance, rarely troubled as Costa Rica offered minimal attacking threat.

John Stones

6.7

Stepped forward to circulate possession as an auxiliary midfielder, though one misplaced pass contributed to Pickford's error.

Nico O'Reilly

7.0

Overlapping runs and intelligent positioning on the left created space for Gordon to exploit Costa Rica's vulnerable right.

Declan Rice

8.4

Opened the scoring with a composed left-footed finish, delivered dangerous set-pieces, and screened midfield with typical authority.

Elliot Anderson

7.7

Progressive passing and intelligent movement connected defence to attack, dictating play through central areas before a head clash.

Noni Madueke

7.5

Beat Sequeira one-on-one only to strike the post, forced another save, and shot narrowly wide after half-time.

Jude Bellingham

7.1

Threaded passes between the lines and created Madueke's chance against the post in a professional, measured display.

Anthony Gordon

9.0

Tormented Costa Rica's right side throughout, assisted Rice's opener, and converted the penalty with a powerful right-footed strike.

Harry Kane

7.2

Header saved at close range, dropped deep to link play, and delivered the pass that led to the penalty.

Dean Henderson

6.3

Replaced Pickford at the hour mark and was largely untroubled as Costa Rica posed no meaningful threat.

Marc Guéhi

6.4

Slotted into the backline after replacing Stones and helped maintain the clean sheet without being seriously tested.

Djed Spence

6.6

Contributed to attacking sequences down the right and kept Costa Rica under pressure during the closing stages.

Eberechi Eze

7.3

Shot struck Araya's arm to win the penalty, then saw a curling effort cleared off the line by Galo.

Bukayo Saka

6.7

Inherited the armband after Kane's departure, delivered set-pieces with his left foot, and showed good dribbling ability.

Morgan Rogers

6.9

Missed a clear one-on-one chance but his saved shot led directly to Watkins heading home the third goal.

Dan Burn

6.5

Provided an aerial target from set-pieces and helped see out the match comfortably after entering at 71 minutes.

Jarell Quansah

6.2

Limited involvement after replacing Bellingham, with Costa Rica offering minimal threat to test him defensively.

Kobbie Mainoo

6.4

Looked to maintain midfield control after replacing Anderson; long-range shot lacked power and was easily gathered.

Marcus Rashford

6.8

Brought directness to the left flank, beating Quiros with good dribbling and linking well in the build-up.

Ollie Watkins

7.4

Showed predatory instincts to head home the rebound from Rogers' saved shot, sealing a comfortable victory.
