The first goal in the match was scored by Antony Gordon in the 26th minute with a brilliant assist from John Stones. The forward cleverly outsmarted the opposing goalkeeper and sent the ball into the far corner.
Harry Kane, the team's captain, became the hero of the match by scoring two goals before halftime. He continues to impress, having already scored 21 goals in 12 games for club and country this season.

Later, Kane effortlessly scored the third goal from a penalty, and an own goal from the Latvian defender increased the score to 4-0.
Teamplay and confidence
The English team has displayed excellent rhythm in recent matches. Under the leadership of Thomas Tuchel, the team has achieved six consecutive victories, including six 'to nil' wins.
Unfortunately, it will be difficult for Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden, who missed this match, to return to the starting lineup. Tuchel has created a team that attacks confidently and defends reliably.

In the final moments of the match, Eberechi Eze added another goal, bringing the score to 5-0. Thus, England confirmed its place in the World Cup and continued preparations for the big tournament.
Now fans hope that this success lays the foundation for new heights on the global stage next summer.
After this match, it is important to pay attention to the team's further plans and how it will prepare for the reality of the World Cup in the USA and Canada.
