England beat Panama 2-0, and MetLife finally saw the group-topping push arrive after halftime
The key shift came after halftime. England had been flat enough to let the group table feel awkward for a spell, then Bellingham found the opener and Kane followed with the second before the match could turn into a late scramble.
It still was not a performance to frame. The win mattered, the clean sheet mattered, and topping the group mattered, but the rhythm stayed patchy enough for England to carry a real warning into the knockouts.
