England secured a place in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup with a 2-1 victory over DR Congo, reversing a complicated scenario in the second half. The match demanded more than the starting team could initially offer, forcing coach Thomas Tuchel to look for solutions on the bench to avoid a humiliating result.
