Harry Kane scored two goals for England in their 2026 World Cup match against Croatia in Dallas. He opened the scoring with a retaken penalty after VAR intervention, but Croatia equalized through Martin Baturina’s long-range shot. Kane then headed in from a corner just before halftime, only for Peter Musa to equalize for Croatia with a volley right at the end of the half. Kane’s performance ties him with Gary Lineker for the all-time England World Cup scoring record, each having scored 10 goals in World Cup history. The match remains ongoing as both teams seek to establish control.
