Harry Kane scored a second-half double to lead England to a 2-1 comeback victory over DR Congo in the World Cup. The win secures England's place in the round of 16 against Mexico, though their performance was far from convincing.
Kane's Heroics
Kane's goals took his World Cup tally past Pelé's, with the England captain now having scored more goals at the tournament than the Brazilian legend. 'Not many of his goals have been as valuable as this,' noted the podcast panel. DR Congo impressed throughout the tournament, earning praise for their performances.
USA Advance Despite Red Card
The USA beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0, with goals from Folarin Balogun and Malik Tillman. The victory came despite playing 30 minutes with 10 men after a controversial red-card decision. The win saw them progress to the last 16.
Late Drama in Senegal vs Belgium
Senegal appeared to have secured victory against Belgium, but two goals in three minutes at the end of regulation time and a late penalty in extra time saw Rudi Garcia's men advance to the round of 16 with a 3-2 win. The match was described as having 'late, late drama.'
Looking Ahead
The podcast also previewed the next batch of last-32 ties and answered listener questions. England will face Mexico in the next round and will need to improve significantly on their showing against DR Congo.
