The Three Lions team struggled in the first half
England had a mixed performance in their 2026 World Cup match against the Democratic Republic of Congo, where a hydration break was the deciding factor.
Today, Wednesday, the England team met with its Congolese counterpart at the “Atlanta” stadiumIn the 32nd round of the 2026 World Cup in America, Canada and Mexico.
The Three Lions got off to a poor start as they conceded the first goal after just 7 minutes before the midway break in the first half with no shots on target.
According to Opta statistical network, all of England’s shots (8) in the first half were made after the hydration break.
