During the World Cup opener against Croatia on June 17, Harry Kane saw his initial penalty saved by Dominik Livakovic. However, VAR intervened to signal a retake due to Josko Gvardiol encroaching before the kick and Livakovic being slightly off his line. Kane successfully converted the second attempt, striking confidently. England was awarded the penalty after Luka Modric fouled Noni Madueke in the box. This match marks a crucial moment for Kane, reflecting on a previous penalty miss in the last World Cup.
