Kane’s Record-Breaking Header Seals England’s Top Spot with 2-0 Win Over Panama
England topped Group L at the 2026 World Cup after beating Panama 2-0 in their final fixture. Jordan Pickford made an early save to deny Panama, but England seized control as the match progressed. Jude Bellingham opened the scoring in the 62nd minute with a volley from Bukayo Saka’s corner. Moments later, Harry Kane headed in a Bellingham cross to become England’s all-time leading World Cup scorer with 11 goals. Panama had a late effort ruled out for offside. England now enter the round of 32 as group winners, likely to face Senegal unless DR Congo’s result against Uzbekistan alters their path.
