England Match Context
This page keeps the England view separate from the canonical archive result so supporters can find team-specific links, players, and host-city context without changing the official match record.
DR Congo context remains visible because the match page should be useful to both sets of fans, but the framing here is intentionally centered on England.
For the primary scoreline, status, date, and archive reference record, use the canonical match result linked from this page.
