Harry Kane scored the only goal of the match in the 57th minute, leading England to a 1-0 victory over Finland. Kane’s goal came after a pass from Alexander-Arnold and a powerful shot that found its way past the Finnish goalkeeper. Finland had their chances, with Pukki missing a couple of opportunities, but ultimately couldn’t find the back of the net.
England dominated possession and had several chances throughout the match, with Lewis and Grealish coming close to scoring. Kane had a goal disallowed for offside earlier in the game, showing England’s attacking intent. Finland’s defense held firm, with goalkeeper Hradecky making some good saves to keep them in the game.
The match saw some physical play, with Konsa going down with an injury and several late challenges from both teams. England controlled the game for the most part, pushing Finland back and creating opportunities, but struggled to convert their chances.
Overall, it was a solid performance from Lee Carsley’s team, who made four changes to the starting lineup. Angel Gomes and Rico Lewis impressed in midfield, while Harry Kane celebrated his 100th appearance for England with a goal. The win puts England in a strong position in Group B2 of the Nations League, with Carsley looking to build on their success in future matches.
