England produced a mightily impressive attacking performance in its 4–2 victory over Croatia in Group L’s opening fixture in Arlington, Texas.
An enthraling first half at AT&T Stadium produced four goals, evenly shared between the European adversaries. Harry Kane struck the first blow for England, his early penalty kick converted at the second time of asking after referee Clément Turpin ordered a retake due to a mixture of defender encroachment and goalkeeper Dominik Livaković moving off his line too quickly.
