In a disappointing match, England, managed by Thomas Tuchel, suffered a 3-1 loss to Senegal. Despite an early goal from Harry Kane, England failed to maintain momentum, succumbing to goals by Senegal's Ismaila Sarr, Habib Diarra, and Cheikh Sabaly. Tuchel noted that his side appeared "frozen" and lacked activity throughout the game. A potential equalizer by Jude Bellingham was disallowed due to a controversial handball decision by VAR. Tuchel expressed frustration with the team's defensive lapses but acknowledged a strong reaction after falling behind 2-1.
"I'm not sure if we did not deserve a little bit more result-wise. It felt a bit frozen, not active enough for a long time over the match."
"We defended quite well for long periods in the first half and then our best period came when we were 2-1 down. We conceded the first two goals - very easy goals, we need to defend better."
