England striker Harry Kane continues to rewrite the history of the world championship. In the match of the 1/16 final of the Emergency 2026 against the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the captain of the “three lions” scored two goals, which brought the English a ticket to the next stage.
The first goal became Kane's 12th in the final stages of the World Championships. With this display, the English forward was compared to the legendary Brazilian Pele.
That's why the attacker didn't hesitate. Over the years, Kane scored a double, taking his tally to 13 goals at the World Cup. With this feat, he surpassed Pele and repeated the record of the famous French scorer Juste Fontaine, who also scored 13 goals in the final tournaments of world championships.
On the eve of the 2026 World Cup, Kane becomes a key figure in England's attack and thus confirms his status as one of the world's leading forwards.
Let’s remember that the highest scorer in the history of the emergency is Lionel Messi (19 goals), and the closest second is Kylian Mbappe (18).
