Harry Kane single-handedly propelled England into the Round of 16 at the World Cup, delivering a stunning late comeback fueled by two crucial goals.
The match saw England facing an early deficit due to a goalkeeping error from Jordan Pickford. Despite relentless pressure and multiple outstanding saves from DR Congo's goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi, England struggled to find the equalizer.
The breakthrough finally came in the 75th minute when captain Kane rose highest to power home a header from Anthony Gordon's cross, leveling the score. Just ten minutes later, Kane sealed the dramatic turnaround with an unbelievable strike from the edge of the box, leaving Mpasi with no chance.
With this match-winning brace, Harry Kane also etched his name further into World Cup history. The two goals bring his total World Cup tally to 13, surpassing the legendary Pelé (12 goals) and drawing him level with France's Just Fontaine in joint-sixth place on the all-time tournament scoring list.
Kane's historic achievement places him among footballing elites, with modern icons Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé currently leading the all-time scoring charts. The table now shows Kane sharing the sixth spot with Fontaine, both with 13 goals.
