England and Uruguay drew 1-1 at Wembley Stadium, in one of their final important tests ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Benjamin White scored for the hosts, while Federico Valverde netted the equalizer in added time.
During the first half, there were few moments when the teams were able to get their game flowing. England took the initiative and tried to control possession, but they lacked the clarity to create dangerous chances. Dominic Solanke had the clearest opportunity, with a shot saved by goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.
Uruguay focused on solid defending and looking for counterattacks, but they were only able to do so a few times, with shots from Agustin Canobbio outside the box that were off target.
After the break, things didn’t change much. Constant interruptions due to physical issues and substitutions made it difficult for both teams to find a rhythm. This was reflected in the flow of the game, with clear chances being scarce, except for a header from Dominic Calvert-Lewin that went wide.
However, just when it seemed the match would end goalless, England created an attack from a corner kick. After a series of rebounds inside the box, Benjamin White pounced on the ball and slotted it home to score the opener. Minutes later, a foul on Federico Viñas led to a VAR review and a penalty award, which Federico Valverde converted to seal the 1-1 draw.
