Key takeaways

  • England fans were left frustrated as their side were held to a goalless draw against Ghana, but were Thomas Tuchel's side fortunate not to have a penalty given against them?
  • The incident in question happened late in Tuesday's game as Prince Adu charged into the box before Ezri Konsa came across and appeared to bring down the midfielder.
  • No spot-kick was given - to the relief of England supporters, with replays showing Konsa had caught Adu on the knee and made no contact with the ball.

Why this matters: a developing story that could shape the day's news cycle.
