In this match, England deployed a 3-5-2 formation, with three central defenders allowing them to control the midfield through the wing-backs, Kieran Trippier and Ashley Young. The two strikers, Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling, provided mobility and pressing intensity. Sweden, on the other hand, utilized a traditional 4-4-2, aiming to soak up pressure and hit on the counter. However, they struggled to cope with England's set-piece strength, particularly evident in Maguire's opening goal. The Swedish midfield worked hard to nullify England's width, yet their lack of creativity up front was apparent as they failed to create significant chances against a well-organized English defense. Dele Alli's second goal showcased England’s effectiveness from crosses, further emphasizing the tactical superiority of England throughout the match. Henderson's central role heavily involved pressing and recycling the ball, while the defensive duo of Stones and Maguire excelled at maintaining shape and launching attacking transitions.
