Harry Kane Leads England to Comeback Victory Against DR Congo in World Cup 2026 Match

In a thrilling encounter at the World Cup 2026, England secured a 3-2 comeback victory against the Democratic Republic of Congo. Star striker Harry Kane played a pivotal role, scoring two goals that not only contributed to the teams success but also allowed him to surpass Brazilian legend Pelés total of 12 World Cup goals.

England fell behind early when DR Congos captain opened the scoring. However, Kanes resilience shone through as he equalized before halftime. Following a brief setback with DR Congo regaining the lead, Kane netted the winning goal in the second half, demonstrating his ability to perform under pressure.

This match was significant for Kane, as he also broke a 60-year-old record for the most goals scored by an England player in World Cup history. The previous record was held by the illustrious Geoffrey Hurst since 1966. Kane, who has become a central figure for the English national team, expressed pride in achieving this milestone and contributing to his teams impressive journey in the tournament.

As England progresses to the knockout stage, they will aim to build on this momentum, with Kanes leadership and scoring ability set to be crucial in their quest for World Cup glory.
