England and Ghana play to 0-0 draw at 2026 World Cup
What's next: The point left England close to the knockout stage, with Panama up next on Saturday.
England was held to a 0-0 draw by Ghana at the 2026 World Cup in Massachusetts, failing to break through despite controlling possession and creating more chances. Thomas Tuchel said England found it difficult to break down Ghana's defense after a match in which England had 19 shots to Ghana's two, according to match statistics cited by the Guardian. The best openings fell to Nico O'Reilly, who hit the bar with a header, and Harry Kane, who missed the rebound. The result slowed England's early momentum after its win over Croatia, but the point left Tuchel's team on course to reach the knockout round in the expanded 48-team tournament.
