The English national team showed a disappointing performance, but it was different as Nhoni Madueke.
England beat Andorra 1-0 in the third round of Group K of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier held at Estadi Korneya-El Prat in Barcelona, Spain at 1 a.m. on Saturday (Korea time). With three wins, England firmly maintained its lead in Group K.
England dominated the game all the time. Jude Bellingham's shot in the first minute marked the start of the match, and Nhoni Madueke continued his offensive. It was a decisive scoring moment in the 18th minute, but it was canceled when Harry Kane missed it.
England's offensive continued in the second half. Then, they finally opened the scoring at five minutes into the second half. Kane took a shot during the attack, which resulted from Curtis Jones' through pass, but was blocked by the keeper. However, Madueke displayed concentration and secured a second ball to pass, and Kane took the lead without missing a second chance.
That was it. England tried to attack until the end, but it did not lead to a finishing touch. In the third minute of extra time in the second half, Madueke succeeded in putting his foot on Gibbs-White's cross, but the game ended as it did not gain strength.
The match leaves much to be desired for England. Against Andorra, who is ranked 183rd in FIFA rankings, he took 83 percent of possession and fired 20 shots, but managed to score only one point. In fact, according to Football Association, the expected score (xG) of England reached 3.35. When the whistle blew, fans booed him.
However, Madueke displayed stellar performance as much as Madueke. Madueke led England's attack by swinging sides, including an assist to Kane's winning goal on the day. Eventually, he was named Player of the Match (POTM).
In fact, according to the soccer statistics media "Foot Mob," he started and played full time, boasting sharp toes, including one assist, two effective shots, four opportunities, 66 ball touches, 86% pass success rate (38/44), nine successful ground ball competitions and four recoveries. 카지노사이트
In response, Coach Thomas Tuchel said in a press conference after the match, "When it comes to the whole game today, Madueke was the most threatening and active player. I felt the desire to follow our plan. He is one of the few players who showed such performance in today's game."
