England secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over DR Congo to book their place in the FIFA World Cup Round of 16, with captain Harry Kane scoring both goals. DR Congo briefly equalised after Kane’s opener, but the England skipper restored the lead with another clinical finish to seal the win. The Three Lions showed resilience under pressure to overcome a determined Congolese side in a tense knockout encounter. England will now face Mexico in the next round as they continue their quest for World Cup glory, with Kane once again proving decisive on football’s biggest stage.
