Harry Kane scores twice as England faces Croatia in World Cup match
Summary

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.
