England and Portugal enjoyed comfortable home wins in their final World Cup warm-up matches on Thursday, beating Costa Rica 2-0 and Algeria 3-0 respectively.

South Korea were held to an unimpressive 0-0 draw against Bolivia while Iceland, the surprise packages of Euro 2016, drew 2-2 at home to Ghana.

And in the late game, Uruguay will head to the World Cup on a winning note after beating Uzbekistan 3-0.

The day's main match was held in the English city of Leeds, where a stunning strike from Marcus Rashford and a Danny Welbeck header gave England victory over Costa Rica in a meeting of two World Cup qualifiers.

England, whose manager Gareth Southgate made 10 changes from the side which beat Nigeria 2-1 at Wembley on Saturday, dominated possession against a mostly unadventurous Costa Rica.

The match was the last for both teams before their World Cup openers.

England face Tunisia on June 18 and Costa Rica meet Serbia the day before.

Meanwhile, forward Goncalo Guedes staked his claim for a place in Portugal's starting line-up with two goals in the win over Algeria at a soggy Stadium of Light in Lisbon.

Guedes fired the European champions ahead from Bernardo Silva's cushioned header and nodded in the third from Raphael Guerreiro's cross.

Captain Cristiano Ronaldo set up the second for Bruno Fernandes to head in. Portugal open their campaign against Spain on June 15.

Iceland went ahead in the sixth minute against Ghana when defender Kari Arnasson headed home a corner via a defender and Alfred Finnbogason made it two before the break.

Ghana, who failed to qualify for the World Cup, hit back through Kasim Nuhu before Thomas Partey fired home three minutes from time.

Shortly before the match, the Ghanaian government announced it would dissolve its FA after officials, including the body's president, were shown in a documentary taking kickbacks.

In Montevideo, Uruguay got the breakthrough after 31 minutes when Giorgian De Arrascaeta fired home from 15 metres.

Luis Suarez doubled their lead eight minutes into the second half when he slotted home a penalty and Jose Maria Gimenez headed home a corner in 72 minutes to make it 3-0.
