Summary
63,983 fans in Foxborough watched Ghana secure a scoreless Group L draw that strengthened its path toward the knockout stage, while England left frustrated after entering as a tournament favorite.
England controlled 79% of possession and outshot Ghana 18-2, but Harry Kane was swarmed, Nico O’Reilly hit the bar, and the Three Lions could not turn late pressure into a goal.
Ghana’s back line delivered its second straight shutout after a 1-0 win over Panama, and the Black Stars also felt they had a case for a penalty — and possibly a red card for Jordan Pickford.
The result leaves both teams on 4 points in Group L, with England still likely to top the group by beating Panama in its final group-stage match.
