In the 2026 FIFA World Cup semi-final between England and Argentina, neither team had a shot on goal in the first 30 minutes, marking the first FIFA World Cup match since statistics began with zero shots in the first 30 minutes.

This match between England and Argentina is the first FIFA World Cup game since relevant statistics began in 1966 where neither side registered a shot on goal within the first 30 minutes.
In fact, the longest wait for the first shot on goal was also held by England – their previous FIFA World Cup match against Norway saw the first shot of the game only in the 29th minute.
