Jude Bellingham received the Man of the Match award on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, but he seemed perplexed and a little embarrassed by the recognition. The young English midfielder declared that, in his opinion, a player from the opposing team, Ghana, deserved more. In a complicated match for England, who faced a very compact and disciplined Ghana, Bellingham struggled to find space to threaten himself, despite his efforts. At the end of the match, in which he made his fiftieth cap for his country, he commented: "I don't really deserve this trophy, to be honest. It should probably have gone to one of them, as they defended so well." Despite his less than brilliant performance, the footballer thanked those who voted for him, but underlined that his opponents had done a better job. The choice for Man of the Match is made through fan voting. Bellingham also played down worries about England's draw, saying: "As always, second game fever, right? We won the first one well and now we've drawn the second one. But that's fine. I think they played for the equaliser, as they would have gone through with that, and they did it very well."
