Harry Kane’s goal, following Jude Bellingham’s opener, led England to a 2-0 victory over Panama at the FIFA World Cup 2026, securing their top spot in Group L. Bellingham’s volley from Bukayo Saka’s corner set the stage before Kane’s header, breaking the World Cup goal record with his 11th goal.
England faced initial resistance from Panama, with Marcus Rashford’s early attempt saved by Orlando Mosquera. Despite Panama’s threats, England’s dominance grew, with Nico O’Reilly and Elliot Anderson coming close but failing to convert.
The second half saw England’s persistence pay off, as Bellingham scored from Saka’s corner, followed by Kane’s header. Panama’s efforts, including a disallowed goal and missed chances, were not enough as England advanced to the knockout stage.
