England 0–0 Ghana: Three Lions frustrated as Kane misses crucial late chance

England were held to a goalless draw by a resilient Ghana side in their Group L matchday 2 fixture at Gillette Stadium, Foxborough. Thomas Tuchel's side dominated possession but struggled to convert their opportunities against a well-organised Ghanaian defensive block.

England's clearest chance came in the 87th minute when substitute Nico O'Reilly's header struck the crossbar, leaving Harry Kane with an open goal — but the captain skied the rebound over. A controversial moment also arose when Ghana's Prince Adu appeared to have been fouled by Ezri Konsa inside the penalty area, but VAR did not intervene.

Ghana defended superbly throughout, restricting England to just 21 percent of the possession for the opposition and conceding their first shot on target only in the 57th minute. The point leaves both teams level on four points at the top of Group L, with both sides on course to advance to the knockout stage.
