com/yG5Vb5jocG - England (@England) September 29, 2026 The win was a stark contrast to England's 2-3 loss against Spain at Wembley just three days prior, on Saturday, September 26, 2026. The atmosphere heading into the compact Prague stadium was palpable, with memories of England's 2-1 defeat in a European Championship qualifier here in 2019 still fresh.

However, this time, England navigated the tricky fixture with composure, capitalising on a numerical advantage for the majority of the match. Match Details and Key Moments The turning point arrived early in the game when Czechia's Pavel Šulc was shown a red card after lunging into England's Elliot Anderson.

Initially a yellow, the referee upgraded the decision after a VAR review, leaving the home side with ten men in the 25th minute. England wasted little time making their dominance count in the second half.

Just a minute after the restart, Barcelona winger Anthony Gordon, 25, opened the scoring. Picking up a loose pass, Trent Alexander-Arnold delivered a precise cross, which Gordon met with a stooped header into the corner of the net in the 47th minute.

This marked Gordon's third successive goal for England. Veteran striker Harry Kane, 33, then doubled England's lead in the 69th minute, striking in his second consecutive appearance.

Earlier in the match, Czech goalkeeper Matěj Kovář had produced an excellent save to deny Kane's turn and shot from the edge of the box. Despite being a man down, Czechia did create some early chances, with Lukáš Červ's volley flying wide and Morgan Rogers hitting the post for England after a Gordon pull-back.
