Harry Kane delivered a match-winning performance, scoring twice to lead England to a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over DR Congo. The striker's late heroics canceled out Brian Cipenga's opener, ensuring England avoids an early exit and progresses to the World Cup knockout stage.

Despite facing a disciplined DR Congo side and a heroic goalkeeping display from Lionel Mpasi, England eventually found their rhythm. Kane's goals, including a thunderous 86th-minute winner, propel England into a last-16 tie against Mexico. This win also sees Kane surpass Pele's World Cup goal tally.

While the result is positive, England's defensive frailties were evident, particularly on DR Congo's opening goal. Coach Thomas Tuchel will need to address these issues as England face tougher opposition. Kane's brace, however, underscores his importance as England's primary attacking threat.
