England secured a commanding lead against France in the first half of their bronze medal match for the 2026 World Cup. The English national team demonstrated significant dominance, leading the contest to a 0-4 scoreline by halftime. The scoring began within the first three minutes of play when Declan Rice netted a super goal from distance.
Bukayo Saka subsequently scored, though the goal was disallowed due to an offside infraction. Ezri Konsa doubled the advantage with a header following a pass from Rice. Marcus Rashford registered the third goal after a combination play involving Bukayo Saka, which occurred in the 37th minutes.
France mounted several attacks, including two attempts involving Kylian Mbappe, but the forward was unsuccessful in scoring. Late in the half, Saka found the net once more, scoring a goal that cemented the 0-4 lead (45+2′). The match outcome remains undetermined as the second half continues.
