England claimed the lead in Group L after a 2-0 win over Panama in New Jersey. Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane provided the goals, cementing the win for manager Thomas Tuchel.
The squad is now set to play DR Congo in the round of 32. DR Congo secured their spot by overcoming a deficit to beat Uzbekistan 3-1, which placed them third in Group K. The upcoming game is slated for July 1 in Atlanta at 5pm BST.
Advancing past this stage would pit England against either Mexico or Ecuador. A further victory would lead to a quarter-final match against Brazil, Japan, Ivory Coast, or Norway.
Tuchel expects his team to sharpen their offensive play as the tournament progresses, brushing off recent critiques regarding their slow start against Ghana and Panama.
