England started their journey in the European Championship with a victory. In front of their fans at Wembley Stadium, they defeated the Croatian national team 1-0. The match started better for the England team, which already had a serious chance in the 5th minute. Phil Foden hit the post and could have put the English team ahead. Later, Calvin Phillips' shot after a corner was also dangerous, as the Leeds United player tried to deceive the Croatian goalkeeper with a clever shot, but he blocked the shot. The game later equalized and there were not many dangerous opportunities. Early in the second half, in the 57th minute, after a great pass from Calvin Phillips that sliced through the entire Croatian defense, Raheem Sterling scored a goal. England had another good chance in the 74th minute, when Raheem Sterling received the ball in front of the goal, all alone, but shot well over the crossbar. The English national team defended quite well throughout the match, did not allow the Croatians to create major opportunities, and earned the deserved 3 points.
