How the match went

England came into this game knowing a win would lock up the top of Group L, and they got the job done.

But it took them a while, because Panama came to defend and made the first half a real grind.

It stayed 0-0 at the break, and England fans were starting to get nervous.

Then their star midfielder Jude Bellingham settled everyone down, scoring in the 62nd minute to make it 1-0.

Once that goal went in, the pressure lifted and England looked far more comfortable.

Their captain Harry Kane added a second in the 67th minute to put the game out of reach.

From there England saw it out for a calm 2-0 win and finished top of the group on 7 points.

For Panama it is a painful end, 3 games, 3 losses, and not a single goal scored, so they bow out at the bottom.
