England struggled immensely, but ultimately managed to overcome Congo’s resistance, securing a 2-1 victory and celebrating their advancement to the Round of 16 at this year’s World Cup!

Thus, the “Three Lions” pulled off a comeback victory in the knockout stage of the World Cup for the first time in 60 years; the last time they had done so was in the 1966 final, when they had trailed but ultimately defeated West Germany 4-2.

In addition, Harry Kane made history with his two goals, bringing his total to 13 in World Cup finals and surpassing the legendary Pelé, who had scored 12 times in the world’s premier soccer tournament.

At the same time, the Bayern Munich star became the first English soccer player to score two goals in a World Cup knockout match since Gary Lineker, who had also scored two goals in 1990, in the quarterfinal against Cameroon.
