England striker and captain Harry Kane was involved in a controversial penalty episode in the 1/8 final of the 2026 World Cup against Mexico, which ended with the English winning the game..
The forward opened the line from the penalty spot on the 60th line, but the referee unwisely awarded a penalty right at the gate of the English team, which the Mexicans converted.
" This was one of those days, when the judges often made decisions not for our benefit. Zreshtoyu, it’s not a little significant, so I’m happy,” Kane said.
Due to the superb court decisions, England managed to win the victory and made it to the quarterfinals of the World Cup 2026, where they play against Norway.
