FIFA World Cup 2022: USA-England ends in goalless draw

With so much excitement preceding the match between USA-England, fans upset not to get a goal from their immense amounts of pressure as USA put in a spirited performance to hold England to a goalless draw in World Cup Group B at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, Qatar.

Both teams played impressively well.  In the 10 minutes of the game, Harry Kane was close to getting England on the board early, but his shot was narrowly blocked by U.S. defender Walker Zimmerman.

The chances keep coming for the USMNT in the first half of the match as Pulisic took a shot from the box, but this time he missed just to the left.

Matt Turner saves a wicked shot off England’s Mason Mount in stoppage time to hold a 0-0 tie at halftime for the United States.

Both teams came out strong in the second half. USA were dominant for much of the second half but England have found their feet again.

For a good measure, Kane made one last attempt for England with a header in the final moments of Friday’s match, but he wasn’t able to connect. With that, things ended goalless.

Kane missed a big chance there, England should have taken the lead there. 

Recall that earlier this week, Friday’s match against England was the USMNT’s second in the group stage after a 1-1 draw against Wales.

On the other side, England — a favourite to win it all — picked up a draw against the U.S. after opening the tournament with a huge 6-2 victory over Iran on Monday.
