Harry Kane scored England's second goal in a 2-0 win over Panama at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The result sent England through to the round of 32 as Group L winners, and Kane left as England's record World Cup scorer.
Jude Bellingham Starts England
Jude Bellingham put England ahead after 62 minutes from Bukayo Saka's corner. Five minutes later, Kane added the second and turned a controlled lead into a result that closed the group stage with no pressure on England's place in the tournament.
Harry Kane Extends the Record
Kane's goal was the one that changed the record book. England had already done the job by then, but his finish moved him past every other England player in World Cup scoring and gave the match its clearest individual marker.
That sequence also shows how the game unfolded: Bellingham broke Panama after a set piece, then Kane finished the next phase before Panama could settle again. The scoreline stayed at 2-0, so the opener and the record came from the same short burst in the second half.
England Fans in New York
England fans in New York and at home cheered on the team during the victory. The match delivered a clean group-stage outcome for supporters following the result from afar, with England finishing Group L on top and moving into the round of 32 without needing any further calculation.
Which opponent England will face next in the round of 32 is not stated, but the immediate prize is already clear: the group was won, the scoring record fell, and Kane now owns England's World Cup mark.
