DEEP DEEP DEEP
England assistant coach Anthony Barry said at half-time that Ghana were defending “deep, deep, deep, probably deeper than we expected” and England needed to be patient.
Tuchel sought to break the deadlock by introducing Bukayo Saka and Nico O’Reilly in the 65th minute, followed by Morgan Rogers and Eberechi Eze less than 10 minutes later and finally throwing on Marcus Rashford.
Ghana, who scored in the dying seconds against Panama, threatened to hit England on the break through the pace of Antoine Semenyo and substitute Prince Kwabena Adu.
But it was England who spurned the best chance of the game in the 86th minute when O’Reilly headed against the bar and Kane blasted the rebound over.
England piled on the pressure in the final minutes, but Ghana dug in for the draw.
Croatia and Panama, both on zero points, meet later on Tuesday.
