Head to head

Another relatively recent World Cup opponent for England, following the first-ever and only meeting with the Central Americans at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

It was a memorable day for England too, as Gareth Southgate’s team clocked up a 6-1 victory on that occasion, thanks to a hat-trick from Harry Kane and further goals from John Stones and Jesse Lingard.
