After 10 minutes, Marcus Rashford was assisted by Harry Kane, but the Manchester United player had Danny block his shot.
England was leading after 30 minutes, but Rob Page’s team appeared to be resolute in defense.
Soon after, Phil Foden found himself in a good position inside the box and had the game’s first serious opportunity, but his shot went high.

The Leeds youngster got things going here as both teams searched for the victory that would advance them further in the competition.
With so much at stake, the game started off quietly since neither team wanted to reveal too much too soon.
But after Yunus Musah’s goal-bound attempt from the edge of the area, it was the USA who began to exert their supremacy.
The USMNT was undoubtedly ahead after 30 minutes, but they lacked any kind of finesse in the closing third.
However, they were able to capitalize on their possession advantage late in the half when Chrisitan Pulisic bundled in from close range.
Once again leading going into halftime, the USA lacked the energy of the opening 45 minutes as Pulisic was forced to leave the game with an injury.
