England deployed a 4-3-3 formation, with Harry Kane as the central striker supported by wingers Saka and Sterling. They utilized a high press, forcing Senegal into mistakes while maintaining control through Bellingham and Rice in midfield. Senegal lined up similarly but struggled to create chances. England's first goal came from Henderson, who arrived late in the box to finish a well-worked move. Saka showcased his pace and dribbling ability for the second, while Kane highlighted his clinical finishing for the third, cementing England's dominance in the second half. Senegal, although threatening on the break, lacked the cohesion to threaten England effectively.
