On Tuesday, June 23, the national teams of England and Ghana met in the match of the second round of the group stage of the 2026 World Cup.

After victories in their first games, both the European and African teams were unable to identify the strongest in the head-to-head confrontation, ending the match in a 0:0 draw..

England showed a noticeable advantage and controlled the gameplay, but failed to overcome the defense of the Ghanaians, who acted exclusively from defense.. Thomas Tuchel's men tried to create scoring chances but struggled with accuracy, while the first half ended without a shot on target for the European team.. The Ghanaians went to the break without making a single shot.

The second half of the match went almost the same - England unsuccessfully looked for ways to reach the opponent's goal, while Ghana periodically made quick counterattacks. In the final period of the game, the English team tried to put pressure on the enemy, but failed to score. Towards the end of the match, Nico O'Reilly's header was stopped by the crossbar, and Harry Kane's finish from a good position went over the goal.. In another episode, a defender knocked the ball off the goal line after a shot from Marc Guei. In the end, Ghana held out and still did not concede in this World Cup.

After two matches played, England and Ghana have four points each.
