England held to 0-0 draw by Ghana in Group L stalemate
England’s attack stalls against Ghana’s disciplined backline as Three Lions limp away with a share of the points in a cagey Group L clash.
England were held to a 0-0 stalemate by Ghana in their second Group L fixture at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Both sides created chances but failed to convert, leaving the Three Lions with a single point and keeping the group table wide open. The match featured a disciplined defensive display from Ghana and a frustrating night for England’s attack.
England dominated possession in the first half but struggled to break down a compact Ghanaian backline. Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka both forced saves from Ghana keeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi, while Ghana’s counterattacks repeatedly tested England’s backline. The second half saw England introduce fresh personnel, including Ollie Watkins and Jarrod Bowen, but their finishing remained blunt.
