　　Although Scotland's possession rate is only 41%, they threatened the opponent's goal many times in the second half. Finally in the 79th minute, Evans took the ball and attacked. Forward Amesley received the ball in the penalty area. The double-doubled defender scored the ball and pulled back a city, but failed to save the game. England kept the 2:1 score to the end of the game.

　　England coach Neville said after the game: "The 2-0 lead at halftime, we thought the second half will be easier. This is a lesson for us, we have no reason to lower the standard, there is no easy game in the World Cup. The start is the most A difficult one, we should be proud of winning the game. If we put our potential out, we can go further in the World Cup. We hope to play all the games in the next 27 days and fight to the end. ”
