Ghana Holds England to Goalless Draw in World Cup Qualifier

In a tightly contested match at Boston Stadium, Ghana's National Football Team held England to a goalless draw during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Ghana's coach Carlo Queiroz implemented a compact 4-5-1 formation that effectively disrupted England's attacking play.

Goalkeeper Benjamin Asar made significant saves, particularly in the second half, while Ghana's defense consistently blocked England's attempts to break through. Despite England's dominance in possession and creating six first-half shots, none were on target.

Ghana's best chance came late in the match with a counter-attack, but Ezri Konsa blocked Abdul Fatawu's effort. England's clearest opportunity arrived in the 87th minute when Reece James' cross was headed off the crossbar by Nico O'Reilly.

The draw leaves both teams with four points in Group L, with Ghana's next match against Croatia on June 27, which will determine their qualification fate.
