Kane masterclass sends England into FIFA World Cup last 16

During a counter-attack, England captain and star footballer Harry Kane was brought down in the penalty area, but England were not awarded a penalty. D’Arcangelo maintained their lead until the end of the first half. In the 75th minute of the second half, Harry Kane equalised with a header. Then, in the 86th minute, he scored again to put his team in the lead.

At full time, England won the match 2–1 and qualified for the round of 16. Harry Kane also broke the record of legendary Brazilian footballer Pelé, who had scored 12 World Cup goals. By scoring twice in this match, Kane increased his total World Cup goals to 13.

Earlier, Harry Kane had become England’s all-time top scorer in World Cup history with a goal against Panama. He is also England’s all-time leading scorer, with 84 goals in 117 international appearances.

On the other hand, after a long 40-year wait, Mexico has won its spot in the last 16 of the FIFA World Cup by an impressive 2-0 win against Ecuador at their own home stadium (Estadio Azteca).

The win was particularly important as it was Mexico’s first time winning a knockout match in the World Cup since 1986. In the knockout stage, each match results in an elimination, where losing teams are eliminated from the tournament. On Sunday, Mexico will get their next chance to play at the Estadio Azteca, where they will try to qualify for the quarter-finals against England or DR Congo.

The match began late because of the bad weather, but it didn’t hinder any spirits inside the packed stadium. Thousands of home fans created a lively atmosphere, but it was Mexico who had a quick, confident start.
