England struggled to recover from the Congo shock, then Harry Kane arrived

England found themselves in disarray after an unexpected turn of events in their World Cup match against DR Congo, needing the interval to regroup. The team appeared lost following an early setback, with coach Thomas Tuchel attempting to organize the players during the break.

Following the pause, England began to create more chances. One notable moment saw Jude Bellingham's header brilliantly saved by DR Congo's goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi, earning praise from the Real Madrid star. However, a penalty appeal for Harry Kane was denied when he went down after a challenge, with the referee deeming it a dive and not consulting VAR.

DR Congo also had their moments of danger, hitting the post with a header from Wissa, which England was fortunate to avoid conceding. Despite these scares and the impressive performance of Mpasi, who made several crucial saves, the match remained tense.

Kane, however, ultimately proved decisive for England. In the 75th minute, he scored with a header that Mpasi could only get a hand to. This goal marked Kane's 12th in World Cup history, surpassing Gary Lineker. He went on to score again later in the match, securing a 2-1 victory for England and advancing them in the tournament.
