Kane punishes DR Congo to send England to World Cup Round of 16

Harry Kane lived it late to score in the 75th and 86th minutes to send England to the World Cup 2026 Round of 16 against a spirited side of DR Congo at the Mercedes- Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Wednesday, July 1, 2026.

Brian Cipenga had put DR Congo ahead in the 7th minute, but England head coach Thomas Tuchel brought in Anthony Gordon in the second half to provide all the vital assists that saw the Three Lions snatch all the important points from the Leopards. England will meet tournament co-hosts Mexico in the Round of 16, while DR Congo becomes the latest African side to bow out of the competition.
