Lithuania

The match kicked off on the morning of March 27 at Wembley Stadium. Over 80,000 England supporters were present to cheer on their team against Lithuania.

While waiting for the match to start, several players on the bench engaged in a brief conversation.

Andros Townsend leaned over to Kenneth Lee with a smile. "Imagine having 80,000 people cheering for you every single time you play at home. That'd be something else."

Luke Shaw chimed in, "Just move to United."

Kenneth rolled his eyes and replied, "Old Trafford doesn't even hold 80,000. Camp Nou and Santiago Bernabéu are much bigger."

Kyle Walker joined the conversation with a question. "Come to think of it, why hasn't any English club considered building a stadium as big as Barcelona's or Madrid's?"

"What's the point of expanding it if you can't even fill the stadium you already have?" Luke Shaw grinned, taking a jab at Kenneth's Manchester City.

"Well, these days, most club revenue comes from TV deals. Expanding the stadium would only add financial strain without any clear benefit," Kenneth ignored Shaw's jab and explained to Walker.

"True, but even if you don't have a big stadium, at least have a large global fan base—like Manchester United," Shaw bragged again about his club.

The match began, and Kenneth no longer had to endure Shaw's chatter.

For this game, England fielded a 4-3-3 formation, with the starting lineup consisting of Joe Hart; Nathaniel Clyne, Phil Jones, Gary Cahill, Leighton Baines; Jordan Henderson, Michael Carrick, Fabian Delph; Raheem Sterling, Wayne Rooney, and Danny Welbeck.

Meanwhile, Lithuania opted for a 4-5-1 formation, clearly aiming to defend from the start.

As soon as the match started, England dominated possession and launched an all-out attack against Lithuania. Although Roy Hodgson was known for his conservative style, he would certainly encourage an aggressive approach against a weaker opponent like Lithuania.

Sure enough, in the 6th minute, Carrick delivered a forward pass. Raheem Sterling controlled the ball with his chest but was brought down. Danny Welbeck, nearby, quickly seized the ball, dribbled into the penalty box, and found space to shoot.

Welbeck struck the ball powerfully, forcing Lithuanian goalkeeper Giedrius Arlauskis into a save. However, the ball rebounded to Rooney, who easily headed it into the net. England took an early lead in the first half.

England continued to dominate the game, creating several chances but failing to score a second goal.

In the 19th minute, Sterling embarked on an audacious run, gliding past the halfway line and weaving through multiple Lithuanian players. His quick footwork freed him on the right, allowing him to thread a pass to Welbeck just outside the penalty area.

Welbeck initially slowed down as he controlled the ball, drawing defenders toward him. Then, with a sudden burst of acceleration, he sprinted toward the byline, catching his markers off guard. Reaching the edge, he delivered a precise cross to Rooney, who leapt to meet it with a powerful header.

However, fate was not on his side, as the ball struck the post and rebounded into play. Henderson reacted quickly, lunging forward to connect with the loose ball, but his effort flew over the crossbar.

England's second goal finally came just before the halftime whistle. Leighton Baines, patrolling the left flank, unleashed a fierce drive toward the box. It was unclear whether it was intended as a cross or a shot, but Welbeck was in the perfect position, managing to flick the ball past the Lithuanian goalkeeper and into the net. England went into the break with a comfortable two-goal lead and growing confidence.

No changes were made at halftime. In this match, Lithuania couldn't even manage a threatening counterattack against Joe Hart's goal, making it clear to everyone that England would win. The only question was, by how many goals?

One of the chances came when Lithuania attempted to build an attack from the back. England's high pressing made them uncomfortable. When a Lithuanian defender passed the ball to their defensive midfielder, an English player immediately intercepted it.

Rooney gained possession and quickly sent a lofted pass to Fabian Delph on the left. Delph struck the ball powerfully, but the goalkeeper managed to parry it away.

A few moments later, another opportunity arose when Joe Hart launched the ball toward Nathaniel Clyne.

Henderson headed it down to Welbeck, and the two combined in a quick one-two, disrupting Lithuania's defense on the right flank. Welbeck then drove into the penalty area and unleashed a powerful shot.

After continuing to dominate and create chance after chance, England finally scored their third goal in the 58th minute.

From the right side, a well-placed pass from Rooney allowed Raheem Sterling to tap the ball in at the far post, marking his first goal for England.

With a comfortable lead secured, Roy Hodgson made his first substitution in the 62nd minute, bringing Kenneth on to replace Fabian Delph. Coming on with fresh energy, Kenneth didn't rush to score but instead showcased his ball-handling skills, weaving past a few Lithuanian players before delivering accurate passes to Sterling, Rooney, or Welbeck.

As a newcomer, Kenneth understood his role in the team. His objective was to play solidly and leave a positive impression without trying to overdo it. Despite the numerous chances created, England's forwards couldn't find a fourth goal, while Lithuania seemed resigned to their defeat, focusing solely on damage control.

In the 71st minute, Hodgson introduced Harry Kane for Wayne Rooney. Kane, who would go on to become England's all-time top scorer, wasted no time. Just 80 seconds after stepping onto the pitch, he scored his debut international goal, perfectly heading in Raheem Sterling's cross. England now led 4-0.

Then, in the 77th minute, Theo Walcott entered the game, replacing Welbeck in Hodgson's final substitution. Kenneth's calm composure and smart positioning continued to aid England's attacking play.

By the 82nd minute, with Lithuania packing their defense deep in the box, Kenneth found himself in open space outside the penalty area. Taking the opportunity, he unleashed a powerful strike toward the top corner, perfectly showcasing his long-shot ability to score his first goal for England.

As the match neared its end, Kenneth displayed his skills once again. In the 90th minute, he dribbled past several Lithuanian defenders, disrupting their backline, before slipping a low pass to Kane, who was perfectly positioned. With a clinical first-time finish, Kane scored his second goal of the night, securing England's dominant 6-0 victory.

Kenneth earned two attribute points from this match, which he allocated to First Touch and Long Pass. He also used the attribute points earned from the match against Barcelona to improve his Acceleration and Ball Control.

He received a notification that his Acceleration and Ball Control had reached their maximum limit of 85 points.
