[[Marcus Rashford]] had the best chance of the opening period, but his chipped shot was saved by Wales goalkeeper [[Danny Ward (Welsh footballer)|Danny Ward]]. Following a goalless first half, Rashford scored a direct free kick in the 51st minute to give England the lead. Shortly after the restart, England would double the lead after Rashford won the ball in the Welsh defence and passed to [[Harry Kane]], whose crossed ball low from the right was converted at the back post by [[Phil Foden]]. Rashford got his second of the game in the 68th minute, with a shot from deep inside the Welsh penalty area that went through the goalkeeper's legs.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/63603442 |title=Wales 0 England 3 |date=29 November 2022 |work=BBC Sport |access-date=30 November 2022}}</ref> The victory was enough for England to finish at the top of the group, whilst Wales finished at the bottom with just one point.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/nov/29/wales-england-world-cup-group-b-match-report |title=Marcus Rashford double puts England top of group and sends Wales home |date=29 November 2022 |work=The Guardian |accessdate=30 November 2022}}</ref>
