England secured a 3-0 win over Costa Rica in their final World Cup warm-up match.

What happened?

The match was delayed by an hour due to storms in Orlando. Declan Rice gave England an early lead with a deflected shot after nine minutes.

Key players

Anthony Gordon added the second goal from the penalty spot after Eberechi Eze's shot was handled. Jude Bellingham showed sharp performance, pressing his claim to start in the team's World Cup opener.

What comes next?

England will now have a behind-closed-doors game against Miami FC to give some players extra minutes and work on strategy before the serious business starts against Croatia. Ollie Watkins came off the bench and scored a close-range header three minutes from the end to give England a victory margin that reflected their dominance. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | Score | 3-0 | | Date | June 2026 |

England's performance

Thomas Tuchel will be delighted with how players who are fighting for their places showed determination to make an impression. Gordon was lively from the first whistle, making Rice's goal and giving Costa Rica defender Shawn Johnson a torrid time. Bellingham showed the sort of world-class touches that will make it difficult for Tuchel to leave him out. John Stones got another 63 minutes under his belt to put himself in contention to start against Croatia. Tuchel can carry out final tweaks in that private game against Miami FC before he makes selection decisions that really matter as England's World Cup gets under way.
