Kane Surpasses Pelé's World Cup Tally as England Beat Congo DR 2-1

Harry Kane scored twice against Congo DR on Wednesday to give England a 2-1 victory and a place in the round of 16. The goals take Kane's World Cup tally to 13, moving him past Pelé's all-time total — a landmark moment for both player and tournament. Kane is now the outright holder of a record previously shared with one of the sport's all-time greats, and England advance to the knockout stage.
