Kane’s Brace Powers England Past DR Congo, Sets Up Mexico Clash

England recovered from an early deficit to beat DR Congo 2-1 in their first-ever World Cup knockout match. Brian Cipenga put DR Congo ahead after just seven minutes, but Harry Kane headed in Anthony Gordon’s cross to level the game with 15 minutes remaining. Kane then rifled home a stunning winner in the 86th minute. The brace takes Kane’s World Cup tally to 13 goals, surpassing Pele’s record. England will now face co-hosts Mexico in the Round of 16 at the Azteca Stadium.
