It was a expected result as the national team's effortless journey through the preliminary stage culminated in an confirmed berth at the international finals.
Game Summary
Anthony Gordon broke the deadlock in the 26th minute, bending a superb shot into the far corner.
The star striker then added a swift brace before the interval—first with a powerful attempt from the box, and later from the spot-kick after a VAR-reviewed handling incident.
England scored two additional finishes in the latter stage—one an inadvertent deflection by a opposition replacement, and another a precise conversion from Eberechi Eze.
