England failed to find a way through a resolute Ghana side and had to settle for a 0-0 draw in their second World Cup Group L match this morning, a result which left both sides well placed to move into the next phase but was a disappointment for Thomas Tuchel’s side after their opening 4-2 win over Croatia.
Ghana, who pulled off a last-gasp 1-0 victory over Panama in their opening match, made their intentions clear from the kickoff as they lined up to blunt England’s attacking style.
Under constant drizzle, the Three Lions had almost 80 per cent of possession in the first half but were limited to half-chances as Ghana players swarmed around England captain Harry Kane and anyone else whenever they moved into dangerous positions.
England have four points from their first two games, almost certainly enough to send them into the first knockout round, and they finish their Group L campaign against Panama on Saturday.
