It was a foregone conclusion as England's serene journey through the preliminary stage ended with an official place at the upcoming global tournament.

Game Summary

Anthony Gordon opened the scoring in the 26th minute, bending a exquisite strike into the top corner.

Harry Kane then added a rapid double before the interval—initially with a rasping drive from the box, and later from the 12-yard mark after a confirmed infraction.

England added two further strikes in the second half—the first an inadvertent deflection by a Latvian replacement, and the other a composed finish from the midfielder.

Crowd Atmosphere

From the stands, the visiting supporters voiced good-natured songs at manager Thomas Tuchel, addressing his earlier remarks about the fan atmosphere.

Chants such as "We'll sing when we want" and "Can you hear us now?" echoed around the intimate ground.
