Ghana’s defensive efforts frustrated England in a goalless draw during their second Group L match at Boston Stadium on Tuesday, June 23, 2026.
Carlos Queiroz set the Black Stars up in a rigid 5-4-1 formation that thoroughly nullified Thomas Tuchel’s side.
While England dominated possession and registered 19 shots, they struggled to hit the net.
Stand-in goalkeeper Benjamin Asare proved equal to the challenge when tested, making crucial second-half saves to deny Anthony Gordon, Harry Kane, and Bukayo Saka.
The Three Lions grew increasingly desperate as the match progressed, coming closest to a breakthrough late in the game when substitute Nico O’Reilly’s close-range header rattled the crossbar.
However, Ghana had a golden opportunity of their own inside the final ten minutes. Abdul Fatawu burst through on goal, but his initial effort was blocked by Ezri Konsa before teammate Antoine Semenyo inadvertently deflected the rebound near the goal line.
The result leaves both nations tied on four points at the top of Group L, moving each a step closer to the round of 32.
Ghana will face Croatia in their final group fixture in Philadelphia, where a draw will guarantee progress to the knockout stages.
