  • England manager Thomas Tuchel hailed Bellingham's contribution, stating, "Good performance, happy he is in this kind of shape," while Bellingham praised captain Kane, noting, "He continues to raise his level and it is incredible."
  • Setting up a last-32 meeting with the Democratic Republic of Congo this Wednesday, the victory positions England to avoid potential matches against Spain and France in the knockout stages.
  • Focusing on the tournament's sections, Bellingham emphasized the importance of their strategic approach, stating, "We came here to do it in sections and we got through the group and won it.
