England were left frustrated on Tuesday after Thomas Tuchel’s side were held to a 0-0 draw by Ghana in their second Group L fixture at the FIFA World Cup 2026.
It was a first half defined more by effort than quality, as Ghana absorbed sustained England pressure with discipline and resilience. The Three Lions’ only notable chance saw Declan Rice send a looping header over the crossbar.

England improved marginally after the break, with Nico O’Reilly coming closest to breaking the deadlock when his late header struck the crossbar. Despite their dominance after the 4-2 opening win over Croatia, this performance raised questions about their cutting edge in attack.
Tuchel’s side controlled possession and registered 19 shots to Ghana’s two, but struggled to find a way past stand-in goalkeeper Benjamin Asare in front of 63,983 fans at Gillette Stadium near Boston.
