Wembley Stadium takes center stage, as England are playing against Uruguay in a high-profile international friendly. With the 2026 World Cup fast approaching, this FIFA window serves as a critical benchmark for both heavyweights to fine-tune their squads.

The Three Lions enter the match in scorching form, carrying a seven-game winning streak and a perfect record from their World Cup qualifying campaign. Under the guidance of Thomas Tuchel, England have become a defensive juggernaut, having not conceded a single goal in their last ten official matches.

In contrast, Uruguay arrive in London with a point to prove. While they successfully secured their World Cup ticket by finishing fourth in the CONMEBOL standings, Marcelo Bielsa’s side is eager to erase the memory of its last outing—a stinging 5-1 defeat against the USMNT in November.

First half summary

There was little action at Wembley during the first 45 minutes. England owned the first half with 63% possession, but they were unable to convert that control into dangerous scoring opportunities. On the other side, Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguay saw very little of the ball and spent more time defending than playing in the opposition's half.

23'- England still dominating (0-0)
