Harry Kane’s brace erased a 0-1 deficit in the second half, propelling England to a 2-1 comeback win over DR Congo and securing a last-16 World Cup clash with Mexico. The Three Lions stumbled through a nervy first half in Atlanta, conceding early to a DR Congo side chasing their first-ever World Cup knockout-stage upset. England’s backline, stretched by DR Congo’s direct approach, allowed a loose ball to ricochet into the net via an unlucky deflection in the 12th minute.
