England secured a comprehensive 6-0 victory over American side Miami FC in a behind-closed-doors friendly match on Thursday evening. The game served as the final warm-up fixture before England's World Cup opener against Croatia on Wednesday night.
Match Details
Thomas Tuchel arranged the match less than 24 hours after England's win against Costa Rica, aiming to increase playing time for members of his squad. According to reports from the Daily Mail, Ivan Toney scored a hat-trick, including one impressive long-range strike.
Jordan Henderson, Ethan Nwaneri, and Rio Ngumoha also found the back of the net, with Ngumoha's goal reportedly being a strike from distance.
The behind-closed-doors nature of the friendly allowed Tuchel to experiment with tactics and give valuable minutes to players who may feature in the World Cup.
England will now turn their attention to their Group stage opener against Croatia, where they will look to start their campaign on a positive note.
