Harry Kane's Brace Lifts England to 4-2 World Cup Win Over Croatia

FIFA · 6d ago

Harry Kane scored twice in Dallas — a first-half penalty and a header that drew him level with Gary Lineker's all-time England World Cup goal tally — as England outlasted Croatia 4-2 in a wide-open Group L opener. Jude Bellingham struck moments into the second half to restore the lead before Marcus Rashford sealed it late, while Croatia's Martin Baturina and Petar Musa kept the scoreline close. It's an encouraging start for Thomas Tuchel's side as they begin their bid for a first World Cup title since 1966.
