England’s right-back farce continues to leave Thomas Tuchel with one World Cup option - Kane’s double helped England complete a famous comeback against DR Congo to book a last 16 place against Mexico

DR Congo has struck first against England as Cipenga catches Pickford at the near post. Harry Kane and England will now have get things in order.

Harry Kane delivered a masterclass in clutch finishing as England overcame a stubborn DR Congo side to progress to the Round of 16 with a hard-fought 2-1 victory of the World Cup 2026.

England handled a high-pressure test in its first knockout match at this World Cup, and now the Three Lions are headed to the high elevation of Mexico City.

England had previously only ever won one game at the World Cup after conceding the first goal, and that came in the 1966 final against West Germany at Wembley Stadium.

A late brace from Harry Kane propelled England into the World Cup round of 16 with a nervy 2-1 win over Congo DR. Thomas Tuchel's side got off to the worst possible start in the seventh minute when the unthinkable happened -- Congo DR took the lead.
