England are set to face Panama for the first time since their memorable 6-1 victory at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. That match, played on June 24, 2018, at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium, was the only previous meeting between the two sides. Panama were making their World Cup debut in Group G, and Gareth Southgate's England side delivered a dominant performance.
The 2018 encounter
England's 6-1 win was highlighted by a hat-trick from Harry Kane, who scored two penalties and a deflected shot. John Stones also scored twice, and Jesse Lingard added a stunning strike. Panama's consolation goal came from Felipe Baloy, who became the oldest player to score on his World Cup debut at 37 years old. The result secured England's place in the knockout stage, where they eventually reached the semifinals.
Quiz challenge
Now, as England prepare to face Panama again, we challenge you to recall Southgate's starting XI from that 2018 match. Can you name all 11 players who took the field? The lineup included Jordan Pickford in goal, a back three of Kyle Walker, John Stones, and Harry Maguire, wing-backs Kieran Trippier and Ashley Young, a midfield trio of Jordan Henderson, Dele Alli, and Jesse Lingard, and a front two of Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling.
