PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa (AP) — England reached the round of the 16 at the World Cup, beating Slovenia 1-0 in the team’s final Group C match.
Jermain Defoe turned home a cross from James Milner in the 23rd minute to give England five points in the group. Slovenia finished with four.
Showing much better form after its dismal 0-0 draw with Algeria, England created several more chances throughout the match.
