Kane's brace sends England through to the Round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup

The England national team claimed a come-from-behind victory over DR Congo in the Round of 32 match at the 2026 World Cup - 2:1.

Congolese striker Bryan Sipenga opened the scoring in the 7th minute. In the 75th minute, the English equalized thanks to a goal by Harry Kane, and 11 minutes later the 32-year-old forward scored a brace to secure England's victory.

Kane, with 5 goals, caught up with Erling Haaland (Norway) in the 2026 World Cup top scorers race. Now only Lionel Messi (Argentina) and Kylian Mbappé (France) are ahead of the Englishman - each with 6 goals to their name.

England advanced to the Round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup. There, the English will face Mexico, who knocked out Ecuador (2:0) in the Round of 32.
