Every point earned at the World Cup is expensive; hence, there is a need for Ghanaians to celebrate the point earned from the clash with England, Ghana coach Carlos Queiroz has said.

The Black Stars on Tuesday secured a point after a goalless draw with England, following a well-organised defensive display that frustrated the Three Lions. Many analysts, pundits and even former Ghanaian players had predicted a win for England.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, Queiroz said: "To collect points in this World Cup, you have to pay a high price; the points are very expensive.

The wins and points are terribly expensive. When you get three points or one point, you have to celebrate because it takes a lot of running, a lot of sacrifice and a lot of commitment during the game."

The draw against England means Ghana are yet to concede a goal two games into their World Cup campaign, having beaten Panama 1-0 in their opening match.

He added: "We had our chances to the point that they are lucky, very lucky. It was a clear penalty [on Prince Kwabena Adu by Ezri Konsa] and a red card. At the end of the day, that's why I say it was a fair result."

Even the England coach commended Ghana's stellar display, praising the team's disciplined and well-coordinated defence.

England manager Thomas Tuchel applauded the Black Stars' performance during Tuesday night's Group L encounter.

The Three Lions were held to a goalless draw despite controlling 78 per cent of possession, the highest possession ever recorded by a team that failed to score in a World Cup match in more than six decades. The statistic underscores Ghana's disciplined defensive setup, which neutralised England's dominance.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, Tuchel admitted his side struggled to break down Ghana's well-organised defensive block throughout the contest.

Tuchel said: "Credit to them. I rarely saw a physical performance like that from a team. They defended with 10 players in a deep, deep block, so it made it difficult for us because they were very disciplined and very physical in every position. It took us a while to break this block down and find our rhythm."

However, he believes it is his side's responsibility to find a way to score.

"Everything was our responsibility — to find our footing. At the same time, you need to be careful not to concede counterattacks," he added.

England controlled 78 per cent of possession, the highest recorded by a side that failed to score in a World Cup match in more than 60 years, but were repeatedly denied by Ghana's organised backline.

The draw leaves both teams level on four points at the top of Group L heading into the final round of fixtures.

England now turn their attention to a clash with Panama, while Ghana face a decisive encounter with Croatia, with qualification for the knockout stage finely balanced.
