The third‑minute goal by Brian Sipenga put DR Congo ahead, but England’s persistence paid off. Despite numerous saves from Mpasi and a resilient Congolese defence, England’s pressure grew in the second half. A late half‑time change saw winger Anthony Gordon feed Kane, whose header marked the equaliser. Kane’s second tally, a low‑driven volley, sealed the comeback, sending England into the knockout phase where they will meet Mexico on July 6.
