England were left frustrated after dominating possession and chances but failing to break down a resolute Ghana side in a goalless 2026 FIFA World Cup Group L encounter.
The Three Lions controlled proceedings from start to finish, enjoying a staggering 79 per cent of possession and firing 19 shots at goal.
However, they were unable to find a way past Ghana’s disciplined defence, settling for a 0-0 draw.
England dictated the tempo throughout the contest, pinning Ghana deep inside their own half for long periods and creating several promising opportunities.
Yet poor finishing and determined defending denied the European side a breakthrough.

Ghana, meanwhile, adopted a compact and cautious approach, focusing on containing England’s attacking threats.
Despite seeing little of the ball, the Black Stars remained organised and resilient, limiting clear-cut chances and frustrating their opponents.
Remarkably, Ghana managed just two shots during the entire match but emerged with a valuable point against one of the tournament favourites.
The result leaves England disappointed after failing to convert their dominance into goals, while Ghana will take confidence from a disciplined defensive display that earned them a crucial draw in the race for qualification from Group L.
For England, the match served as a reminder that possession alone does not guarantee victory, while Ghana proved that defensive solidity and determination can still deliver results on football’s biggest stage.
