England secured top spot in their group after a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Slovenia. The match saw few scoring opportunities, with England dominating possession, especially in the second half. Despite their efforts, Gareth Southgate's team managed just 0.87 expected goals compared to Slovenia's 0.13. The closest England came to breaking the deadlock was through Stones, whose header was cleared off the line by Sesko. Rice also tested Oblak with a powerful volley that narrowly missed the target.
With qualification to the knockout rounds assured, England now face the challenge of elevating their performances for the later stages of the tournament. Their next opponent remains unknown, pending the completion of group stage matches. Meanwhile, Slovenia's fate in the tournament hinges on other results.
