England were held to a 0-0 draw by a determined Ghana side at Boston Stadium, failing to build on the momentum generated by their opening World Cup victory over Croatia.

Where England had looked dominant in dismantling Croatia, Ghana proved a far more stubborn opponent, frustrating England's attack and keeping a clean sheet throughout the contest.

The result marks a significant shift in fortunes for England, who could not replicate the free-flowing display that powered them past Croatia in their first group stage fixture.

Ghana, for their part, showed considerable resilience and defensive discipline, leaving Boston Stadium with a well-earned point against one of the tournament's stronger sides.
