Kane Equals World Cup Record as England Outgun Croatia in Six-Goal Thriller
England launched their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign in style with a thrilling 4-2 victory over Croatia, powered by a Harry Kane brace and inspired performances from Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford.
Kane opened the scoring from a retaken penalty before adding a header to take his World Cup tally to 10 goals, drawing level with England legend Gary Lineker as the nation’s all-time leading men’s scorer at the tournament. Croatia responded twice through Martin Baturina and Petar Musa, sending the teams into halftime locked at 2-2.
Just two minutes into the second half, Bellingham restored England’s lead with a brilliant solo effort before Rashford came off the bench to seal the win late on. The result gives Thomas Tuchel’s side a perfect start to their World Cup title quest and sends them top of Group L.
With attacking firepower on full display, England have already signaled their intent to challenge for a first World Cup crown since 1966.
