England were held to a frustrating goalless draw against Ghana, whose defence was solid throughout the match. Harry Kane could have won it right at the death, putting his effort high, rebounding after Nico O'Reilly's header bounced off the crossbar. Disappointingly, England only managed three shots on target, despite having 79% possession. England remain top of Group F, level with Ghana on four points.
