England dismantled Costa Rica 3–0 in an International Friendly on 10 June, dominating possession with 81 per cent and limiting their visitors to just one shot across the match. The Three Lions' 4-2-3-1 setup proved sufficiently structured to control proceedings, with Anthony Gordon, Ollie Watkins and Declan Rice each finding the net. England's attacking threat was evident in their 28 shots, of which eight were on target, while Costa Rica's 4-1-4-1 formation offered minimal resistance, registering zero shots on target from their single attempt. The visitors' goalkeeper made a respectable 62.5 per cent save rate from the eight efforts he faced, though the gulf in quality and intensity was never in doubt. This comfortable victory served as a useful warm-up exercise for England ahead of competitive fixtures.
