Kane breaks penalty record at the World Cup in England win 🎥 | OneFootball

England and Croatia delivered another great match on Wednesday (17) in the opening round of the World Cup group stage.

The English side, coached by Thomas Tuchel, won the match played in Texas 4-2.

Harry Kane was one of the standout players, scoring twice. 

The first came from a penalty kick that had to be retaken.

On the initial attempt, the Bayern Munich striker was denied by goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic.

The penalty had to be retaken because the Croatian keeper had moved forward a few centimeters.

On the second chance, Kane made no mistake and opened the scoring.

With the goal, he became the player with the most penalty goals in World Cup history.

The top scorer now has five, one more than Lionel Messi, Gabriel Batistuta, Eusébio, and Rob Rensenbrink.

A few minutes later, Kane doubled England’s lead with a powerful header from a corner kick.

That goal also saw the Bayern striker reach another historic milestone.

He drew level with Gary Lineker as England’s all-time top scorer in World Cup history, with goals each.

Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford scored the team’s other goals in the match.

Petar Musa and Martin Baturina scored for Croatia.
