Wales vs. England highlights: England dominates to take Group B
The 2022 FIFA World Cup continued Tuesday with all eyes on Group B to close out the day. England dominated Wales to win 3-0 at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar. The win gave England the top spot in Group B.
Despite the lopsided outcome, England struggled to score in the first half, but Marcus Rashford scored two second-half goals to help lead England to victory.
Earlier, the Netherlands defeated Qatar to win Group A while Senegal won the other spot with its win over Ecuador. England will take on Senegal on Sunday in the round of 16.

Setting the stage
England is in control of its own destiny entering its final match of Group B. It can advance with a win or tie and can only be eliminated if it loses to Wales by four or more goals.
Wales, meanwhile, needs a lot to happen to advance. It must win and needs the USA-Iran match to result in a tie. If either side wins, Wales would have to win by at least four goals to advance.
10': Keeping England off the board
Welsh goalkeeper Danny Ward made a tough save on a 1-on-1 opportunity for Marcus Rashford in the opening minutes of the match.
45' + 5': Wales gets a chance but fails to capitalize
Joe Allen looked like he had a strong opportunity during a set piece, but his shot sailed wide and left to keep the match scoreless.
Halftime: England struggling to breakthrough
England has dominated its match so far, holding possession for 74% of the first half and has nine total shots to Wales' two. However, it only has two shots on goal and has yet to score, carrying a worrying trend from its match on Friday against the USA.
Still, England is in a good position as it can only be eliminated if Wales scores four more goals in the second half.
If the results hold in Group B, England would take on Senegal in the round of 16 while the USA would face the Netherlands.
50': England finally breaks through
Rashford couldn't have put the ball in a better spot on the free kick to finally give England its first goal of the match and the lead.
