England inroads against Spain lack clinical edge

England made significant inroads against Spain at Wembley, recording 36 touches in the visitors' penalty area - a statistic that ranks them second best against Spain in regular time from a sample of 133 matches since Euro 2016. djcc.club

For context, Spain typically allows just 9.5 touches per 90 minutes in their penalty area. Belgium, France, and Argentina combined had only 38 touches against Spain in the final three rounds of the 2026 World Cup, highlighting England's unusual dominance despite their inability to capitalize on these opportunities.
