England edges New Zealand 1-0 in World Cup warm-up match
Summary

England secured a narrow 1-0 victory over New Zealand in a World Cup warm-up match held in Florida on June 6, 2026. Harry Kane scored the only goal of the match, marking his continued form after a successful season at Bayern Munich. While some players, including Marcus Rashford, showed encouraging performances, the match lacked intensity and failed to provide many definitive answers for head coach Thomas Tuchel ahead of the World Cup. England’s next friendly is scheduled against Costa Rica, where players will have another opportunity to impress before the tournament.
