"The most recent meeting came three years ago in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar when Marcus Rashford's double helped England top Group B and eliminate Wales. Rashford's free-kick at the start of the second half gave Gareth Southgate's side a deserved lead before Phil Foden headed in six minutes later. Rashford added a third by blasting the ball through Wales keeper Danny Ward's legs. England lost to eventual champions France in the quarter-finals."
"England came from behind to claim a dramatic victory in this Euro 2016 group game, the first meeting between the sides at a major tournament. England keeper Joe Hart's dreadful blunder allowed Gareth Bale's 30-yard free-kick to creep in just before the interval in Lens. Jamie Vardy scrambled in an equaliser from close range early in the second half before fellow substitute Daniel Sturridge beat Wayne Hennessey at his near post with a stoppage-time winner."
England and Wales meet for the 105th time, with England leading 69 wins to Wales' 14 and 21 draws since their first match in 1879. The most recent meeting occurred at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where Marcus Rashford's double and a Phil Foden header secured England's victory and eliminated Wales; England then lost to France in the quarter-finals. At Euro 2016 England recovered from a Joe Hart error that allowed Gareth Bale's free-kick, with Jamie Vardy equalising and Daniel Sturridge scoring a stoppage-time winner. Wales progressed to the Euro 2016 semi-finals after beating Belgium.
