Iceland 0 - 0 England

73 mins: Iceland don’t look as though they’re going to be more expansive despite the extra man. They’re still allowing England time on the ball. Kane and Sterling do brilliantly on the left wing to keep hold off the ball. Kane controls it well and feeds Sterling on his way into the box. Danny Ings is waiting in the middle but Sterling’s cut back doesn’t find him and the attack ends.
