On June 24, according to Yonhap News, England faced Ghana in the second match of Group L at the 2026 North America World Cup held at a stadium in Boston, Massachusetts, and the game concluded with a 0-0 scoreline.
England attempted 18 shots during the match but managed only four on target against Ghana's tight and aggressive defense.
Ghana, limited to just two shots, adopted a defensive strategy to avoid defeat and successfully secured one point.
In the 14th minute of the first half, England had a free-kick opportunity, but Declan Rice's right-footed shot narrowly missed the crossbar.
Ghana's defenders closely marked Kane, who, in stoppage time of the first half, received a penetrating pass from Rice and attempted a shot from the left side of the penalty area, but it was blocked by the defense.
In the 50th minute, Ghana's Marvin Senaya, receiving a pass into space, made a right-footed shot from the right side of the penalty area, which was also blocked by England's defense.
In the 69th minute, Kane's left-footed shot from near the penalty arc went straight to the goalkeeper, and a minute later, Bukayo Saka's header from close range went over the crossbar, wasting another opportunity.
In the 87th minute, Saka's left-footed shot from the right side of the penalty arc was saved by the goalkeeper, and shortly after, Nico O'Reilly's header hit the crossbar, missing a crucial chance to score.
Ultimately, neither team was able to find the back of the net, resulting in a draw.
