BARCELONA – On a sizzling afternoon, England managed to secure a narrow 1-0 win against Andorra, preserving their flawless record in the World Cup qualifying campaign. Harry Kane's second-half goal was the defining moment, allowing England to claim the victory despite a lackluster performance.
Dominating possession but failing to deliver the expected quality, only Chelsea's Noni Madueke impressed in a forgettable game. England comfortably leads Group K with a perfect score, yet manager Thomas Tuchel admitted the team needs significant improvements before the World Cup.
Despite Andorra's ranking, England's gameplay appeared sluggish, with few memorable moments. Tuchel is the first England coach to win his opening three matches without conceding a goal, yet he acknowledges the team's deficiencies in energy and urgency against defense-focused opponents.
