Closing tabs in Google Chrome

I cannot figure out how to close an open tab in Google Chrome on my iPhone. The box I used to click to close a tab has suddenly disappeared. Has anyone else had this problem and figured out what to do? I can only close all of my tabs, not one individually.

You have to tap ABOVE the "X". Don't actually click on the "X", click a couple millimeters above it. It is like the put the "X" in the wrong position. Horrible design, not intuitive, but this definitely will close the page immediately without having to click again.

Forgot to mention in my response above that in order to get to the “X” at the top right, I have to go out of the current tab. I do that by clicking on the box at the bottom right which has the number in it. When I do that, all tabs appear and an “x” at the top right also appears. I select and hold the “x” and then the option to “close tab” appears.
