Panama v England
Play By Play
The full-time whistle goes as England secure top spot in Group L with a 2-0 win over Panama. The Three Lions were made to sweat for the three points, though, and were initially left frustrated by the stubborn Panamanian defence in New Jersey. The crucial breakthrough finally came on 62 minutes, when Bellingham swept the ball home with his left foot from Saka's corner to bag his second goal of the tournament. Bellingham was involved once again five minutes later when he laid it on a plate for Kane, who duly nodded past Mosquera to double his side's lead. England ended the game with 1.49 xG to their name, compared to Panama's 0.58, and the Three Lions are now set to meet Senegal in the round of 32 after finishing top of Group L. Croatia's 2-1 win over Ghana mean they occupy second, while Ghana are forced to settle for third. Panama ended up bottom without a single point to their name and become the first side to fail to score at a World Cup in 16 years. That's all for this one, thanks for joining us!
FULL-TIME: PANAMA 0-2 ENGLAND
England now look set for a meeting with Senegal in the round of 32, 12 months after losing 3-1 to them in a friendly. The Three Lions did come out on top with a 3-0 victory when they met in Qatar four years ago, though.
Eze looks to get his name on the scoresheet as he tries his luck from range with a left-footed effort. The ball ricochets off Cordoba, though, before bouncing behind for a corner, which Panama go on to defend well.
Tuchel will surely be concerned by the amount of times Panama have troubled the England backline in this one. Remember Panama are the only side who haven't scored a single goal at this tournament.
PANAMA SCORE...BUT THE FLAG IS UP!! Panama think they've pulled one back as Davis frees Fajardo behind the England defence. The latter then drives into the penalty area before firing the ball into the top right-hand corner, but the linesman quickly raises his flag to break Panamanian hearts. Replays show the decision to be correct, but it's incredibly tight.
MADUEKE ALMOST MAKES IT THREE!! England almost add the cherry on top as Rogers frees Madueke. He then looks to fire the ball beyond Mosquera with his right, but the Panama goalkeeper reacts quickly to make the block and Panama avoid conceding a third.
There will be SIX minutes of added time at the end of the second half.
Croatia have now retaken the lead against Ghana, leaving them in second on six points. They still trail England by a point, though, and look as though they they'll have to settle for runners-up in Group L.
Panama's Gutierrez also goes off and is replaced by Davis.
More changes for Panama as Quintero replaces Harvey.
RASHFORD SHOULD SCORE!! England almost have a third as Madueke finds Rashford at the back post. The latter opts to take the shot on first time with a right-footed volley, but slightly scuffs the shot and has to watch the ball fly behind for a goal-kick.
Henderson is now the first England player to make an appearance at seven major tournaments.
England's second goalscorer Kane is also replaced by Watkins.
England make more changes as Jordan Henderson replaces Anderson in midfield.
Panama's Andrade is rightly shown a yellow card after tugging Rogers to the ground. The England man was looking to run onto an inviting ball behind from Eze, so that was always going to end in a card.
As happy as England will be with the three points, there will be some concern about how open they've looked at the back at times tonight. The injury of Quansah will only add to those worries, too.
Ghana have now equalised against Croatia to make it 1-1 in Philadelphia, meaning England now sit two points clear at the top in Group L.
Panama have had eight shots in the second half, but none of them have been on target. They've certainly looked decent going forward considering they've not scored a single goal in this tournament so far.
England have only failed to win one of their last 21 World Cup matches in which they led by two or more goals, since a 3-2 defeat to Germany in the 1970 quarter-final. Anything other than an England win here will certainly make for a spectacular final 15 or so minutes.
Diaz is involved again as he latches onto a loose ball in the England box before firing the ball half a yard wide of the near post. Panama have responded well to going 2-0 down.
Panama remind England they remain a threat as Diaz runs onto Cordoba's cross into the box before heading the ball over the crossbar. That was half a chance for the substitute.
The action is back underway once again as England look to see out their 2-0 lead. Surely they've all but secured top spot in Group L now.
England also take off Bellingham, who makes way for Eze.
Panama's Jose Luis Rodriguez also goes off for Londono.
