Harry Kane's Late Goals Propel England Past DR Congo
In a crucial World Cup match held in Atlanta, Harry Kane scored two late goals to lead the England National Football Team to a 2-1 victory over the DR Congo National Football Team, securing their place in the last 16. The match was tense, with DR Congo initially taking the lead through their captain, Brian Cipenga.
England struggled to find their rhythm, with Kane rescuing the team by equalizing in the 75th minute with a superb header from an Anthony Gordon cross. Just four minutes later, Kane struck again, delivering a powerful right-footed finish that soared past DR Congo goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi.
This marked Kane's fifth goal in the World Cup. England will now face co-host Mexico at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City on Monday, July 6.
