The crowd held its breath as the ball flew past the goalkeeper, but it was not meant to be. A quick defensive play stopped what could have been the equalizer.

Marcus Rashford’s effort looked destined for the back of the net. The forward struck the ball cleanly, giving the DR Congo keeper little chance to make a save.
However, defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka reacted in the nick of time. He sprinted back and cleared the ball off the line, keeping England from scoring.
