England 2-1 DR Congo: The 'Three Lions' return from the brink thanks to a stellar Harry Kane

Harry Kane proved his leadership once again, driving England to a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory against the Democratic Republic of Congo and securing their place in the World Cup quarterfinals. The "Three Lions" faced a stern test, falling behind early but ultimately triumphing thanks to their captain's late heroics.

The Congolese team put up a formidable defense, frustrating England's attacking efforts and holding onto a 1-0 lead until the final quarter of the match. Kipenga scored in the 7th minute, stunning the English side. England struggled to create clear-cut chances against the well-organized African defense for much of the game.

However, Kane emerged as the decisive force. In the 75th minute, he leveled the score with a powerful header. Just six minutes later, in the 86th minute, he completed the turnaround with an impressive shot that reached 110 kilometers per hour, sealing the win for England.

With these two goals, Kane reached five for the tournament, tying him for second place in the top scorers' list. Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé remain at the top with six goals each.
