Kane’s 11-minute magic snatches England from World Cup brink
Captain’s two-goal salvo in stoppage time erases DR Congo scare but exposes systemic frailties ahead of knockout gauntlet.
Harry Kane delivered a World Cup masterclass in the 90th and 101st minutes, converting two chances to lift England past the Democratic Republic of Congo 2-1 and into the round of 16 at Atlanta Stadium. The captain’s 11-minute brace erased an early setback and a catalogue of individual errors that had left England teetering on the edge of a humiliating elimination. Kane’s first, a poacher’s finish from inside the six-yard box after Bukayo Saka’s whipped cross, levelled the tie in the 90th minute.
