Malta was able to defend well. On the other hand, England did not rashly look for goals.
There was no extra goal until halftime. The first half was 1-0 for England.
England began to try more shots in the second half. There were attempts by Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka in the Malta penalty area, but the ball was not yet in the net.
Next try from Trent Alexander-Arnold in the 63rd minute. This has not resulted in a goal because the ball can be secured by the opposing goalkeeper.
England extended the lead to 2-0 in the 75th minute. Saka's assist ball was completed by Harry Kane.
Declan Rice gave England a 3-0 lead in the 76th minute. The goal was disallowed after a review by VAR because Kane was ruled offside.
There were no additional goals from England and no reply from Malta. The match finished 2-0 for England's victory.
This result does not influence England because it was previously confirmed to qualify for the European Cup in Germany next year. England are also firmly at the top of the table and Malta are without points at the bottom.
