1‘Â Wales kick off, and we are under way in Al Rayyan!
10‘Â SAVE! Alert goalkeeping from Ward prevents Rashford giving England the lead! The deputy keeper dives down to block the striker’s low effort on the edge of the area, following a smart throughball from Kane. Wales escape!
38‘Â OVER! An incisive move from England’s midfield sees Bellingham and Henderson exchange a couple of flicked passes just outside the box, before the former guides the ball to Foden. From around 20 yards out, the Manchester City man slams the ball comfortably over the crossbar. It was a lovely move, though!
45′ + 6′Â HALF-TIME: WALES 0-0 ENGLAND
46‘ Second Half Begins…
50′ RASHFORD SCORES TO GIVE ENGLAND THEÂ LEAD! The Three Lions go ahead in the so-called ‘Battle of the Brits’! From a 20-yard free-kick, situated on the left side of the area, Rashford sidefoots a dipping shot powerfully past Ward and into the top-right corner! Wales 0-1 England!!
51′Â FODEN STRIKES! Faced by sluggish defending from an experienced Wales defence, Kane pulls away on the right side of the area and crosses low across the six-yard box for Foden, who arrives at the back post. Without breaking stride, the latter guides the ball into an unguarded net; putting England two goals to the good!!
68′ RASHFORD STRIKES AGAIN!! Phillips flips a ball over the top to pick out Rashford on the right, and the Manchester United man steps three lame cahllenges to power a low shot at Ward, who can only deflect the ball into the net! It’s 3-0 to England, and they can make plans for the last 16!
FULL TIME: WALES 0 Vs 3 ENGLAND
